Does he take them to the park because you are working? Please forgive me for being so old school, but my h never took them to the park or rarely watched them without me there. I’d be so worried about the safety of the kids that I’d just make sure I was there at all times while he was watching them.

I don't want to be a helicopter mom. It's important that our daughters bond with the both of us, independent of each other. Also, dads and moms do things different and it's that balance that fosters healthy children.
I'm naturally more cautious than he is because of raising a special needs son with slight mobility issues. Our 3yr old exhibits similar gross motor challenges so they are more cautious with movement and equipment. Our 1yr old does not have these challenges at all.
We both take them to the playground, either together or apart. Our children have never sustained any serious injuries or concussions. They've been fine. To me it's more of a judgment call. I don't think it's fine to put a 1yr old on a big kid swing. He obviously disagrees.
