Agreed shitty parents exist. Some are just shitty, others are shitty because they've burnt themselves out.

I've definitely been the parent on the phone at the park, only because she's finally playing, without wanting to include mummy and daddy in everything! Someone walking by would see a shitty parent. In fact, it's a parent taking the short time they are engaged in independent play to recharge enough to be positively engaged for the rest of the evening.
