[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Or maybe the millennial parents are remembering how sad it was to have mom and dad brush you off because theyd rather read a newspaper than play with us. Playing with our kids to fight the generational ghosts of our pasts. Being a playful engaged parent shouldn't be looked at like its ruining the children. [b]It's objectively better for kids to have parents they trust.[/b][/quote]

What does the bolded have to do with parents playing with kids on the playground?

The OP clarified and many have agreed: it's NBD if some parents want to play with their kids on the playground.  The problems arise when that's done constantly, so no kids have the opportunity to play together, and also when other parents shame those who don't play with their kids on the playground.  Different parents have different strengths.[/quote]
They trust their parents and feel comfortable asking them to play. Knowing they won't get scoffed at or rebuffed so mom can scroll facebook and make snarky comments on some frenemies post. Some of the posts on here make it sound like any kid who wants to play with their parent is a dumb recluse with no social skills. Or maybe they just feel loved and trust their parent, never a bad thing IMO. [/quote]

True, honestly, independence is over-rated. I hope my kids never move out. I lived in my mom’s basement until about 37. She still does my laundry.[/quote]

That’s a cool story butter ball [/quote]
