And it’s not at the playground while “supervising” your child. During a birthday party.
I went to three birthday parties this weekend: 1x roller rink, 1x planetarium (that one was actually cool. They played Fine Young Cannibals during the ’80s-themed laser show), 1x playground. I get that most dads (well, a lot of moms too) would rather be almost anywhere than hanging out at the playground with your three-year-old while she attends a party, but dude. I think that is just rude (and kind of makes you look like a creep too). He didn’t even take one out during the truly social portion of the afternoon–cake-cutting, pinata-swatting, etc.
I should probably start a whole blog full of judgmental posts about parental birthday party behavior.

Like the new digs.
And earbuds really do look rather creepy in a lot of places… I think it’s strange to see people walking down the streets ‘talking to themselves’… even though technically they’re not. Just looks that way, and it’s creepy.
That would be pretty annoying. A cute use of earbuds that I’ve seen is couples rehearsing a dance each wearing one ear bud from the same Pod.
Maybe he should stay home and watch the football on tv next time… You sound like your kids have more of a social life than you, 3 parties!! Welcome to my world…
