I feel bad about this, but I have no clue if it's a normal way to feel and I can normally guess what Mumsnet would say so don't bother, but I really don't know about this.
I was in the park earlier with DC (5 and 9) I always sit on the bench closest to the only exist.
There have been a couple of times when a father (who clearly has DC at the park) help youngest DD onto the monkey bars for example, then just go with their kids on to a different bit of equipment. We are a friendly village and do tend to interact with the DC (if it's obvious they go to same school, etc.)
However, I've had it once where (and this is with 9 year old DD and no contact involved) a man was pointing to bits of the rope that DD should put her foot onto (you know, to help her get to the top) and I went over and made casual convo and he had no children there
Is it wrong to have not even thought for a second about that dad, but felt uneasy about that man for the rest of the time while we were there?

AIBU?
To trust dads, more than men without children, at parks? :(
