So i take my 6 year old swimming, and im getting so pissed off with the amount of times parents take his things from the side of the pool and assume they can just use them...like goggles, floats... even the sodding nose plug!!
Today he was trying with a pool noodle then wanted to try without.
a smaller girl wanted it and took it and i said excuse me but its his... the mum asked if they could borrow it 'for a minute' so my son said yes.. the (brat!) Kid was asked to say thank you and screamed NO in my sons face and swam off with his float. After about 15 minutes he asked for it and i said its on the side, shes not using it, go and take it.
So he got it. The kid noticed and had the most epic tantrum for about 30 mins with the mother and her friend giving me daggers!!
Wtf... i brought it so my son could use it.. not the rest of the pool.
They actually ended up leaving cause she was near hysterical.
Please someone agree with me that she should have told her bratty offspring 'no its not yours...' and dealt with it in the beginning, rather than have a child wait to use something that is theirs!
Am i being a twat for not sharing?
Dont even know why its bugging me so much...
