Yeaaah I'm really good with kids and play with them interactively when some of the parents never do and are pretty mean to them. It's really awkward to me when they unpromptedly refer to me as dad. One even repeatedly tells his mom and dad he wished I was his dad instead. I can tell the father doesn't like me now and it makes it really awkward

That sucks that you're being punished with awkwardness just because they don't know how to listen and interact with their kids the way the kids want to be interacted with.
