Carolyn Hax: Mom wants to enforce ‘girls-only time’ at a public park

This column originally published Oct. 14, 2018, and was adapted from an earlier online discussion.

Dear Carolyn: I have a daughter, and some other moms of daughters and I have started getting together at a local playground at a set time each week. Recently a mom of a boy brought her son to the playground at the same time we were there. I asked her (nicely, I thought) if she would mind leaving because we had wanted it to be a girls-only time. She refused and seemed angry at me.
