Today, I found out I wasn't invited to the annual family reunion. The reason? Everyone thinks I'm "creepy" because I'm the only adult who will go out and play with the kids. FML
It's such a double standard: you're either a jerk because you don't pay any attention to the kids, or you're a creep if you actually give them affection and/or attention. Smh. I understand the media has opened our eyes to the low lives of the world, but that's ridiculous! It's a family reunion! I try to entertain the kiddos when my family's kids talk to me or ask to play. Keep your head up OP.
Good question. Also... Is that really the only reason that OP wasn't invited. I really don't see RELATIVES saying... "You have fun with the kids in the family at reunions. You're creepy."
I dont understand why anyone would thumbs down for this, its a damn good question because if even one kid is uncomfortable enough to say something, most likely a line was crossed somewhere. Children are use being forced to interact with new and different people constantly so for one to say something. . maybe the kid should be listened to. I have a brother in law who plays with the kids, cause we know he wants one right away- no issue, we love the fun. I also have an uncle in law that wants to play with the kids thats a total creep and some complaints have been registered with the elders. No one was molested but there are other things that car scar kids for life.
"creepy"? More like "fun". The rest of them are just too uptight. If you weren't doing anything inappropiate, I don't see any problems. Don't take it to heart.
