[quote=Anonymous][b][quote=Anonymous]I'm surprised by the responses on here ganging up on OP.  In my parents sphere, i can think of countless times where friends or acquaintances have said in passing that they never bring toys to the park because of the inevitable drama that ensues.  I consider it pretty standard knowledge.  So if a dad chooses to buck that trend and bring a toy to the park (which of course he has every right to do in a public park), [b]he better damn well make sure he doesn't have a screechy toy-possessive kid who is the cause of said drama[/b].

uh,  you better learn to read a little better.  The OP basically said the 3 year old said "no baby no baby" once.  ONCE when her baby was interested in the Frisbee.  After that OP assumed there would be drama and kept redirecting her kid.  She said something like "based on the 3 year old's reaction when we looked at the Frisbee, I kept redirecting my kid."

That's a lot of assumption on OP's part.  She should have let her kid play the way her kid wanted to and see if drama would really happen.  My bet would be that if her kid kept getting in the dad's/3 year old's way, they'd find a better place to play.[/quote]
