To think girls shouldn’t wear sandals in the park?

It’s been a beautiful day here so I was at the park. DS was on the climbing which is huge, designed for older kids, not toddlers.

There were so many girls crying and panicking getting across it because their sandals were getting trapped. Their feet were sliding out of them because of their angles, and their dresses were hindering them.

AIBU to think girls who are going to park should be put in sensible trainers and trousers? The boys were managing with ease because they were suitably dressed. A substantial amount of the girls were struggling because of what they were wearing.

Sandals never stopped my DD. Can't say about dresses because she refused to wear them as they were uncomfortable when climbing trees.

My dd's managed in dresses and sandals. And if they couldn't would have taken their sandals off. Maybe the girls weren't as good at it.
