DCUM surprises me sometimes. I swear some of you aren’t parents.
There was a thread on here recently asking why adult women were so dramatic... this is why manufactured histrionics from very early on in life.
In watching experienced nannies that are with kids all day long vs parents that take their kids to the park on the weekend one thing I notice is how they respond when kids get scared or hurt. Nannies calmly take control of the situation but don’t panic or add to the child’s fear by dramatically fussing about. They check in and validate the child if he/she is hurt but they don’t create fear. Some parents absolutely lose it when their toddler falls on their bum or they are startled by a noise. It makes the kids so anxious and much more prone to reacting to everything dramatically.

Seriously though your young preschooler isn’t scared of loud sounds and barking dogs??? I’m with OP, we were in a parking lot where a dog was left alone and his face was halfway out the window with teeth and slobber and he was loud af.
And yeah I guess many don’t actually have small kids on these forums anymore ….this place is changed for the worst.
I do but, no, my kids aren’t scared of loud noises and wouldn’t be afraid of the sound of barking. The dog part of this seems very over dramatic (all the parents and teachers emailed him…really?) but, yeah, he was a jerk for parking like a jerk.

He parked in the no parking zone right in front of the door to the school. The door where new preschoolers say good-bye to their parents. You don’t see that as an issue?
These kids would have been crying and clinging to their parents anyway. He should not have parked in a no parking zone.

+1. Just a parking issue.

Kids were sobbing because they saw dogs locked in a car? Weird.
And the teachers were overwhelmed and everyone emailed the dad. Op, if you want people to take you seriously you need to dial back the histrionics
Lol right? This sounds like a parking issue but I’m not really getting how the entire school imploded when kids heard dogs barking in a car for 5min.

No, the sheep just like to pile on the OP. Very predictable.
OP, next time something like this happens, write from the perspective of the “dick dad”:
“I was dropping my kid off at preschool today and running late so I parked in the no parking zone in front of the door to the school and apparently my three dogs barking made some three year old cry. The school and several parents emailed me about it...”.
Everyone would jump on the dick-Dad. The OP always gets slammed.

Maybe the wife was supposed to drop off the preschool kid, but her car broke down and he had to take the dogs and the kid.
Maybe he took that illegal spot in front of the school so he could get in and out quickly because he had these dogs.
Maybe he looked calm because that was all he could do while people like you were judging him.
Maybe his dad is in hospice and his marriage is falling apart and he forgot he had to take the dogs to the vet and get his kid to school and his life just sucks right now.
Maybe you could just stop judging for 5 minutes and let this go. But for some reason you have to rehash it. It’s over. Let it go.
I agree.

I will never - for the life of me - understand a parent’s need to bring their dog to drop off and pick up. Never. It’s been discussed here frequently.

There’s a crappy parent like that at my kid’s elementary school. The dog in locked in the car in the parking lot at school and lunges at the windows, barking like crazy. All the kids are scared of the dog and scared to walk by the car.

Some kids are always crying at preschool drop-off. Doesn’t matter whether it’s a sunny day or a rainy day, dogs in a car or no dogs in a car.
Stop the drama, OP.
