[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People really misconstruing what OP sand taking it personally. It’s weird seeing a bunch of kids on the playground playing with their parents instead of their peers. And these parents tend to act like helicopters/human shields.

Individual cases like parents who work and this is the only time you have with your kids—that’s understandable but not what the OP is talking about. It’s the human shield-like behavior of the parents. I guess if you go to a “normal” playground and see kids who don’t know each other mixing well with each other, you will see the difference. The parents at a normal playground are only there if the kid is a toddler and prone to falling. The helicopter parents hover there even if the kid moves around effortlessly.[/quote]

OP, was your gripe was with "human-shield like" behavior, like parents actually disallowing other children to join their play?  I didn't get that from the post at all.  She just seemed annoyed at the prevalence of parents playing with children.   [/quote]
