[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband would do the same thing, OP.
It's kind of hard to win. When my kids were young I remember hanging on the playground with overly friendly dads and I kind of wished they would go chill by themselves so I could have "mom talk" with the other women. Sometimes they even came across as flirtatious. Then there's the men like this who act like they're invisible and that's kind of weird too.
Really the ideal situation is when there is a group of parents of both sexes. In that case I would expect my husband to make friendly small talk with the men, not look at his phone. He generally would not chat with strange women unless they were my good friends who he already knew. That's just his personality.[/quote]

DH is a very involved dad and he has never done a play date at the park with moms. He doesn’t want to host play dates of kids or parents. He would pass on meeting other parents at the playground.

There was a stay at home dad who used to host my son and all their friends at their house. I was very friendly with him. We went on an outing once and it just felt kind of weird. His wife is also weird so it isn’t a male/female thing. My son was friends with their son and I preferred drop off. My Dh also didn’t care for the dad or mom. The mom would hang around when dropping off. I could tell she would want to hang out but we didn’t really want to hang out with the parents.[/quote]
