My husband takes our oldest daughter to the park and play. When he's they he reads a book or looks ata magazine while watching our daughter. Recently these women has been approaching our 2 year old daughter wanting her to answer questions about her dad. You can clearly tell they like him. Around this time my husband gets my daughter and leaves the park, but not before flirting with him and trying to hold on to his arm. I trust my husband 100%. I'm worried about our daughter seeing this, and I never seen women as determined as these. Ther are really no other park in walking distance we can go to any advice? My huband always likes to take them to the park because that is his daughter father bonding. How can we solve this??

Sounds like you need to go to the park with him to deter these women from taking advantage. They won't approach him with you there. OR better yet, HE needs to step up and tell them that he is not interested in their advances. If he doesn't speak up they assume he likes the attention.

who's telling you this, your husband? is it possible he's trying to get a rise out of you or just spark some jealousy by playing this up to be more than it really is.
i can assure you that your two-year-old is totally clueless and could care less whether women at the park are flirting with your husband. this seems to be more about your marriage, and about your husband reporting things to you that make you uncomfortable. i mean, at the end of the day, this is a problem with a pretty easy solution - if this woman (or women) approach your husband, he should just be polite but cold - turn away, play with your daughter, whatever. this won't continue unless he encourages further interaction, or the woman is seriously creepy, which might require him to quit going to the park for awhile.

At two years old I don't think your daughter can distinguish from "Daddy being nice" and "Daddy flirting" so it shouldn't really be a problem in that capacity. The women are determined because they probably think with the flirting that there is a chance for them with your husband. The best advice is to go there a few times with him, just to make sure they understand he is happily married, and to ask him to cut back on the flirting a bit.

1) Women who use a 2 year old to find a man are not mature enough to be in a relationship with a parent.
2) Your daughter needs to be taught not to talk to strangers under any circumstance. When these women approach her, she needs to find her Daddy and go to him immediately. End of discussion.
3) Your husband is the key factor here. The fact that he has YET to put a stop to this is ridiculous. Obviously he enjoys the attention? (Can't say I blame him, but doesn't make it right!) The fact that he has yet to say "I'm happily married" or "thanks but no thanks" to these women says alot about your husband. I'd be much more upset with him than the women, to be honest.
4) You can always be the "alpha-woman" and go with him occassionally, snuggle up on the bench where he reads, and figuratively mark your territory. :-D

That's pretty skanky. I'd go to the park & tell them to stay away from your daughter & hubby. Tell them if they don't, you'll tell the police they are harassing your family.I can't imagine what could be wrong with these women. Approaching a 2 year old, that's kinda weird. You for sure should go and put a stop to it. It's pretty sad a daddy can't take his little girl to the park with out puting up with that stuff. Good luck to you.

Take them on a different time, or different day I guess. It's wrong for these women to be doing this, especially in front of a child. If he can't take them any other time, he might have to be pretty blunt with them and let them know what they're doing is unwelcome and needs to stop. Good luck.

If he is reading a book at the park, then he isn't bonding with your daughter. Bonding would be pushing her on a swing, throwing a ball with her, or sitting in a sandbox.
If that's how he bonds, then he can sit in the back yard and read while she plays.

These women are creepy. Your husband should tell them to stay away from your daughter.

He should just tell them he's happily married.
