"Your parents can put me on your emergency contact and I'll pick you up e..."
Thu Feb-20-20 10:35 PM by Cold Truth

  

          

This was said to my daughter, by a parent of another student.

I picked up my daughter, and another girl was walking out with her mom at the same time. The girl was hanging onto my daughter, and they didn't want to leave each other, half jokingly. The girl continued to trail me to my car, and her mom kept telling her to come back.

So I said, as playfully as I could, "Stranger danger! You know her (my daughter) but you don't know me". Mom said thank you, and told her daughter to listen to me.

So the girl lets go, but won't go to her to her mom. She kept saying that she wanted to hang out with my daughter. Mom was getting frustrated, so I said let me make your life a little easier. I walked my daughter back to them, and her daughter asked if we could follow them home so my daughter can hang out. I said no, but asked mom if we could exchange numbers and maybe set a playdate some time. Mom gave me her number, then just kinda went off the rails.

She told my daughter she could come over, have a barbecue and spend the night, which was already over the line, IMO, given we just met, but whatever.

Then she takes a running leap over that line: Your parents can put me on your emergency contact and I'll pick you up early.

That's grand opening, grand closing if you ask me. That deaded the whole thing to me. My wife said we can have playdates at the park, but frankly, I don't even want to do that much after that comment.

I'm not making blanket judgements of her overall character, but that shit does set off alarm bells for me.

So...what would your reaction be?

But I'm admittedly reading her "emergency contact" comments as tongue-in-cheek. Obviously only you can provide the context behind that comment - facial expressions, tone, body language - but absent that I'm inclined to assume that she was kidding and just being friendly.

Ever.

I don't think she has bad intentions or anything, it's not like her eyes glowed red or anything lmao, but that's a record skip, "pardon me?" Type statement.

Y'all buy those labels, I was born supreme

I'm not in her head, and I don't know her at all, so I can't really assess her actual intent. But it didn't play like a joke to my ear.

Thing is, I try to factor my own temperament with shit like this. I how I'm not particularly trusting of strangers in general, and definitely not when it comes to my kids.

So while I'm not all WTF over it... I'm definitely leary.

TBH the fact that you're even a mod here fits squarely within Jag's narrative of OK-sanctioned aggression, bullying, and toxicity. *shrug*

if she's single, she saw an opening and ran clear up the middle. lol

CT, watch it out here with these moms man. It might have been a deadpan joke that missed you (we don't always register other peoples sense of humor) but the fact that you were all 'daddy-mode' with the stranger danger joke might have been a turn on like, 'oh, he's a good dad...he can be that to both of them...let's get them in our orbit'.

Yeah my attraction level is zero, so I didn't even ponder that angle.

Yeah I'm definitely passing the number to my wife and letting her deal with it lmao

That's the most diplomatic way I can describe her looks relative to my tastes.
