[quote=Anonymous]On Christmas Day we wanted to drive around looking at Christmas lights. We hit up a new suburb (built in last 2 years), and one that often is touted as being really hip, lots of foodie restaurants, expensive (three years ago, we actually rented there for a temporary housing situation, but couldn’t afford buying there).

Because we left when it was still a bit light outside, we went to big neighborhood park to let the kids play. Waited for it to get darker.

A lot of normal parents that I chatted with. “Cute kids,” or “what’s his name. Oh that’s a nice name.” Easy chat that you have with parents as the kids play. .

Then, a few bro dads stepped outside. And stood awkwardly close to me and dh, without acknowledging us. 
Bro dad 1: “hey, how’s your Christmas Day? Had to get outside?” Said in a Keanu Reeves kind of fake smoky voice. (I love Keanu)
Bro dad 2: also in smoky Keanu voice “yeah, had to get out. We’ve got like 30 people in there. There’s a ton a food though. Wanna grab some? Seriously we have every meat....” blah blah blah.

I noticed one bro-wife is also there. Not going to describe and objectify her, but I gotta say, she seems like the only type that bro dad was going to marry.

Bro dad 1 or 2: “yeah, we going to have a football game out back tonight. Head over.” To other bro’s wife: “you girls should head over too.” Blah blah blah

That’s all I heard because I moved away. Unlike other parents, there was no chat or eye contact from them. I saw them look me up and down a bit. I notice it every time with the bros. And yep, i wasn’t one they wanted to converse with. Nor was my dh who is ‘average dad.’ (But sometimes calls our boys Buddy.)

Remember it’s in the voice. It’s in the polos. A certain type of polo. It’s in the won’t-talk-to-you-for-a-second-ness.

Peace out.[/quote]
