Stop trolling.  You’re just embarrassing yourself. [/quote]

It wasnt literal silly. I am the parent who lets her kids play snd be a kid. Im not telling you how to parent your kid. More parents should mind their business unless it is directly harming you and yours. What was your kid doing during while tending to others kids?[/quote]

Are you trolling?  No one is this stupid and selfish!

Kids being kids doesn’t involve destroying a garden in a PUBLIC place.  If you want to “parent your way” let your kid pull up the flowers in your own garden and not the plants in a public (for everyone paid by taxpayers) garden!

I would sternly correct your kid. [/quote]

I think the kids (and their parents) were wrong here too, but what's with all of you that insist that the kids need to be "sternly" corrected? A six year old might not know the difference between planted plants and dandelions. Just explain it to them nicely - "Oh hey guys! These flowers actually aren't for picking, they're for everyone to see and enjoy. See how they are part of the garden here? Why don't you go pick those dandelions that aren't part of this pretty garden (or "can you go find some pretend flowers for your sandbox garden instead?" if there are no dandelions).[/quote]

If a six year old doesn't know the difference between wild flowers and planted flowers, that's because the parents have failed to teach them the difference. Every toddler loves picking flowers. There are zero six year olds on the planet that haven't given their parents many opportunities to teach them. [/quote]
