Overheard at the park: “Noah, we don’t climb up the slide. You might fall and get hurt"

Yes. However “Noah, climbing up the slide makes you a queue-jumping asshole who’s in everybody else’s way” I would be completely onboard with.

I wish. I've had people try to "protect" *my* son while we are at the park. It's quite annoying. Helicopter your own kids.. or better yet, don't!

Isn’t that kind of the point? Taking risk in a relatively controlled environment? Discovering you’re physics limitations?

Yes. I have 3. That’s not what we do. Danger is fine. At least the version encountered by climbing up the slide. Noah’s gonna grow up a total wiener and can pump my girls’ gas

Again no need to judge OP.

Ha P1. Busy day but no one was on that particular slide. Mom was literally pushing an empty stroller around to stay within 10 ft and give “tips."

OP - do you have any kids? That’s just what parents do. We’re like air traffic controllers constantly ensuring we have the little ones location and ensuring there is no danger ahead. That’s all it is. No need to judge.
