Hurrying her up at the playground

[Buffalostance89]

Have my parents staying with us for two weeks (I know)
Dd, almost 3 and I normally visit the playground most days, soft play, cafe visits, zoo visits, beach etc-we mix it up, but it all involves something fun for her to keep her occupied.
Dad likes to go for a walk and sit at a cafe by the beach-practically every day.
In almost two weeks, she’s been to the playground (when walking to a cafe, for maybe 5 minutes-dad walked off to the cafe)
Today we went to the same cafe, had lunch, Dd sat well and on the walk back, she asked to go to the playground and ran over.
I said to her of course we could go, my mum was saying ‘Another day’
We went in and literally five minutes later, my mums trying to hurry her along to go 🤷🏻‍♀️
Dad says ‘Come on, I’m bored now’
I said to them both that she needs to play and we normally come most days and she’s barely been.
cue atmosphere and then standing stony faced, waiting to go.
They used to babysit my sisters kids all the time years ago and I remember them always saying about playgrounds they went to with them.
My mum never really plays with her, then I hear about how at Christmas they all play board games etc with sisters kids (early teens now)
Aibu to feel pissed off and sad about this?
I mean, it’s not thrilling for me stood in a playground, but it’s for her, whether it’s boring for me or not. She’s been really good and been on the walks and to the cafes and shopping…things *They like to do, is it unreasonable to expect them to want her to enjoy herself doing children’s things, and to want to be a part of that?

Because they get annoyed if OP leaves them in the cafe to take dd to playground.

Why? As a pp said, they've done their playground bit. 5 mins is a bit short but 2 hours, for goodness sake. That's just martyrdom.

As I said on another thread, when you are a grandparent you can be the sort of grandparent you'd like for your children now, assuming their parents are happy with that.

I do think that's a bit silly. Are they the joined at the hip types and extend that to OP and dd? Can't do things without each other?

Are they not free to go?
Just tell them to go?

I voted YABU because just send them home. You stay, doesn't need to be a drama.

The problem here, isn't that they don't want to run around a play park. That is understandable.

The problem is, when presented with an alternative ie., go on ahead, go to the cafe, they then stand there po faced and pissed off trying to make some kind of point.

Secondly, it doesn't sound like the gp's want to do much interacting in the home either. Again, very disappointing.

I get you OP.

Not unreasonable at all OP. What’s the difference to sitting in a cafe drinking a coffee to sitting on a bench at the playground with coffee and cake in hand watching your lovely daughter happy at play.

So they think it’s ok for your DD to be bored out of her mind being dragged along to everything they want to do, but they can’t do the same for her.

OP drove everyone to the cafe in her car so they can't just walk home.

Tell them to go sit in the car and you will be half an hour... Miserable gits!!
Likely they would be complaining if dd was restless after not getting a decent runaround!! Or suggest they get a taxi to do Old Fogey Stuff in future!!
And you AND dd go play on the swings!!

Thanks all

Another day of walking to the same cafe, luckily Dd met some little girls on the beach and played with them.
I said to mum that I know they don’t like going to the playground so I’ll do all that with her next week, it’s really not worth the hassle. The easiest way is to just basically have my life hijacked for two weeks and do what they want, when they want, then they’re happy.
