DDs friends dad is a Prick

Dd has a friend on the road who comes to stay regularly with her cousins and play, Dd plays with her but they have a love-hate relationship really. She’s the only child Ive seen Dd argue with, I’ve tried to cool things between them, but they still love to play together a lot of the times.
This friend often calls over the fence to Dd and vice versa to play. When friends dad is there, her friend isn’t allowed to our house, even though this child is the issue/hard work and the mum agrees, but she’s just a child
The other day, Dd heard her playing in the garden and called to ask if she was there and her dad loudly shouted back ‘No!’ and it all went quiet. Dd came inside a bit confused/upset

Was this a mean thing for him to do? What would you do?

Saying 'no' to an irritating child does not make someone a prick.

I think the (slight) issue is that he said ‘no’ rather than explain to your daughter that it wasn’t a good time to play, or that they should have a break because of the squabbling. And yes, that’s a bit mean.

YANBU OP (and I don't know what on earth the fuck is wrong with those who are attacking you), I suggest you speak to the mother about why the father is like that.

Who knows from your post. Who knows?

None of us that's for sure.

Ask yourself.
