AIBU to tell my DDs to move away.

Today at our local playground lots of children playing. There was a man with no children, driving a childs remote control car around. The play equipment, At one point my DDs started to follow him into the skate park, to watch him. AIBU to have told them to play somewhere else?

Of course he could have been completely fine minding his own business, and there is no law preventing an adult playing in the park with a child's toy car.

You could've stood there and watched with them i guess

How old was he? Like a young man, maybe a teenager who looked a bit older? Or a fully grown man.

But as long as your weren't unkind about it, yanbu At all

I would’ve done the same. Taking a remote controlled car to the park is one thing, but actually inside the playground amongst the equipment? Weird.

How old are your DDs? I would have gone with them to watch as they were interested.
