Thinking about becoming a r/ dogfree psycho

I took my toddler to the local playground today, and another family was there with their pit bull. Like the entire point of a playground is to provide a space small children can run around freely in, but you’ve introduced this potential hazard I have to constantly monitor. Even if it were a golden retriever, my baby doesn’t understand boundaries and I’d have to make sure she didn’t run up and put her hands on the dog’s face. Not to mention that it probably pissed all over the structures. So despite taking her there to get some energy out, we mostly stuck to the swings. 😔

Dogs are already everywhere. Walking on the sidewalk with owners who refuse to put them on a short leash as we pass. Pissing on my step. Off leash at parks. In stores and at restaurants. Playgrounds are my breaking point.
