[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sounds like a sexist response to parenting while male.  The dad trust the daughter to play on her own and doesn’t need to hover nor engage in chit chat.[/quote]

I agree. The Dad was keeping an eye on his daughter from the bench and didn't need to chit chat. He did nothing wrong. I am a Mom and have been in the same situation where I brought my school aged child to a semi-regular park hangout and didn't chit chat with anyone because I had my hands full with an insane toddler, which I get is not the same as being on the phone, but you know, people aren't always available for chit chat for whatever reason. And I see other dads on their phones all the time at these sorts of things and think nothing of it because I do the same on the rare occasions when I don't have to mind the toddler. I would not assume it is anything the Dad did.

Could be some trouble/drama among the established mom friend group.[/quote]

Nah they just don’t want to deal with the socially clueless awkward dad anymore.[/quote]

What is there to "deal" with? He is a grown man minding his child and minding his own business.[/quote]

He’s at a play date and accepted an invitation. He’s not randomly at the park at the same time.[/quote]
