I thought I was an OTT mum but then I met another by the swings in the park and realised I needed to step up my game
A MUM has revealed how she always considered herself to be an OTT parent – but then she met another by the playground swings.
The woman, called Imogen, shared her hilarious story about a recent trip to the park in a TikTok video.
At the beginning of the post, the dedicated mum explained: “I’m a very over the top parent, I know that. I’m very OTT as a person.”
She then revealed how she went to the park at 9am with her daughter and was pushing her on the swings, when another woman arrived with her son.
Imogen explained how she had been pushing her little girl while saying “wooooo! I’m going to get you!”
However, her fellow mum was “amazing” and left her feeling like she should “up my game”.
