I've never had this thought and have had a very positive experience out with my daughters. Lots of warm smiles and even hear chuckles from time to time about my daughter's antics.

It could be a confidence thing- if someone is acting uncomfortable like they could get in trouble they could be giving off a vibe like they are doing something wrong.

I never felt judged either. I had the opposite issue. I would get weird praise for being out with my kids, as if it was something noble or odd for a dad to play with their kids.
