5 mins at playground

This is not a pleasant entry but more of an angry one...

Good thing that daddy was always nearby to hold on to our girls when incidents happened...

I was so puzzled about why these parents didn't act or react when they see their girls doing things that could cause danger to the other kids...

Firstly, it was a dad who watched his big girl (at least 5 years old) climbed up the slide when Phoebe was already sitting at the top waiting to slide down. The dad just stood there and expected us to give way to his girl who came later and in opposite direction... Cut queue?

This same dad also stared blankly without any intervention when this big girl went to the swing and tried to chase Renee who was swinging happily away. So this big girl 'snatched' over the swing and happily swing. That dad just watched and did nothing about it.

Then, came another mum who seemed very distracted all the time... Her little girl was probably at the same age as Phoebe. At the same slide that Phoebe had been playing for a while, came this little girl who tried to push her down the slide when Phoebe was hanging from the rim above the top of the slide. This mum just stood at the side and watched her girl pushing our girl... Luckily, daddy held on to Phoebe and prevented her from flying down the slide from the push. (Just imagined that I was screaming from the bench I was resting on when I saw the push while that lady did absolutely nothing)

In fact, she was still glued to the see-saw when her little girl already ran away from the playground... And her eyes weren't on the baby at all... Very impressive lady!
