Playgrounds are full of all types of outfits from princesses, superheroes, Disney characters, you name it. You would think no one would batter an eyelid then at a mum's simple outfit to take their child out but one woman's recent experience says differently.
One mum has said she was shamed by a fellow parent over her choice of clothing during a recent visit with her young child and others are just as baffled, reports the Mirror.
The Tiktoker who has the name @ugnebr shared a short video as she returned from the play park with her little one. She began the video saying: "I've just received a comment from a fellow dad at the playground that my outfit is somehow inappropriate."
She joked: "I must've missed the memo where they told me the dress code of a playground. Half of the people there were dressed as princesses and Spiderman. Second of all, how is a T-shirt, skirt, and boots inappropriate? Please explain."
The mum then shows her outfit to viewers which is an oversized black T-shirt with a floral print black mini skirt and cowboy-style boots.
Many were left outraged by the man's comment with most coming down firmly on the woman's side. "It's not your outfit that's inappropriate, it's him thinking it is," one remarked. A second said: "So... he found you attractive in a kids playground and that made him uncomfortable!!"

A third agreed: "It's probably because he caught himself being attracted to you. So he blamed it on you." And a fourth added: "Those kind of comments tell so much about the person commenting."
It comes after a woman took to Reddit to reveal she had been left seething with her husband after he made an inappropriate comment to a bride on her wedding day - but he doesn't see what the problem is.
The anonymous woman said: "The bride is more the outdoor-loving, sportive, tomboyish type, but chose a pretty, knee-length dress for her wedding. She commented a bit insecurely on it: 'I usually don't wear dresses so I hope this is OK.'

"Promptly my husband had his eyes wander up and down her body and he emphatically said: 'more than OK. I mean, you can wear anything with that figure' I was standing right next to him."
She concluded: "There was a split second of awkwardness, then the bride thanked him and went to greet more guests. Doesn't sit right with me. I had to explain to him why I felt this wasn't appropriate. He was so baffled by my point of view that I'm now second-guessing myself..."
