Also, from my experience and i don't want to sound even older than i am, the other parents at the park are not parenting at all. Like they look at their phone as their 4 year old tells me everything they did that day because I'm the only adult around who listens and responds to them and i get so upset taking about it afterwards to my wife. Bro your kids are so smart and being amazing older friends to my toddler but you don't even notice that they're talking to some scruffy guy in a ponytail?

Okay rant over for now but don't act like not doing fuck all is a parenting strategy

Yeah, I feel you on this one too. I'm 38, and I feel the same way when I'm at the park and I see people like this. I'll be honest though, 90% of the time, it's the Dads. I don't know what to make of it, really. My kids are awesome, and thanks to this wonderful system we have, the weekends are the only time I get to spend a full day with them doing shit. I can look at my phone when I'm fucking off at work.
