[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. Bottom line (for me) is that I slug it out with my 18 month old all day, every day. Tbere is a lot of boundary setting and testing of said boundaries. Our playground is a safe and fun place where he can run and I can relax a little bit as well. It's not like I can sit around and text, and I'm still on him a little (use the stairs, don't walk up the slide!), but overall we mutually love playground time. I was annoyed because the pair brought an off-limits object to a place that is normally a place where I don't have to say "no" as frequently, and all of a sudden I have to go back into high toddler vigilance mode. [/quote] OMG, OP, a frisbee is now "an off-limits object" to bring to a park because it required you to say no to your own child when you would prefer not to do so? It's almost inconceivable to me that anyone old enough to procreate could be this insufferably self-involved...[/quote]
