Hot tub

Ours goes up to 40c. So it’s 40 in winter and usually 35 in summer. I don’t know if any that go beyond 40c so like a warm bath really.

Yes chlorinated like a swimming pool. Ours uses a fancy salt chlorination system

You're being bonkers expecting them not to get one just because of your kid.

Also I see no issue in lowering the temp and letting him have 10 minutes in there with you? 🤔

You're being absolutely fucking ridiculous.
Experience disappointment is very character building, so I'm sure your little prince will survive this non-event.

What I have got from this thread is that hot tubs are hotter than I realised. How hot are they? Like a too hot bath? Are they chlorinated?

Can anyone explain why it's unsafe if someone is with the child? The op said that kids can't regulate their body temperature and so he could over heat...but it's not going to be like boiling a lobster hot...and what about bathing him, surely you use warm water and swimming baths are warm. Isn't most of him going to be out of the water and in fairness, like all kids and water he's going to be in and out all the time....I'm a bear of little brain and I don't get it

Fucking bonkers.

Yes, it's ok for children to be told no. It's ok to have boundaries and for them not to be allowed some things, specially when they're not safe. It's ok for children to be upset, and it's our job to be there for them when they're upset. Our job isn't to avoid anything that could potentially make them upset at all times all their lives.

A medic friend of mine once said, "If you were to get together a group of top-flight epidemiologists, engineers and bacterioliogists and asked them to design a really effective mechanism for the distribution of the e-coli virus, what they'd come up with is the domestic hot tub."

I wouldn't let a baby anywhere near one.

This is actually a great idea. You’re acting very entitled.

Take a paddling pool for your child.

YABU to expect everyone to cater to you.

One of the most ridiculous things on Mumsnet for awhile!

There are a gazillion things that an 18 month old is not allowed to participate in and has to be told no if they express an interest. That’s part of life and growing up.

You can use the hot tub whilst another member of your family minds the child.

The world does not revolve around your child .

P.S I hate hot tubs but that’s a whole different story!

Hope this is a fake post….. can you believe that your kid isn’t the most important person in everyones’s world? So entitled!!!!!!

Bonkers. What colour is your sky?

I have children and I agree with @Spies
Are you seriously insinuating that no one in your life will ever be able to buy something that your child might want because you can’t say no to him? I’m sorry but you’re going to end up with one ridiculously spoiled child if that’s the case.

How bizarre of you to try and think you can dictate what your mum buys for her own enjoyment with her own money in her own house. There's lots of things that aren't suitable for babies. But she doesn't have a baby.

You'll just have to play with him in a paddling pool or something like you would if the hot tub wasn't there.

Obviously under supervision, just because I didn't write it down it doesn't mean just leave him there. Common sense they can supervise him on turns ...that way all of them can have fun.

I’ve read some utterly mental posts on here, but this one is epic. You think your mum shouldn’t have bought something for her own house because it’s out of bounds for your child? Bloody hell!!

Sex pond.

Warm petrie dish?

Honestly, get a grip. The world does not revolve around you and your child.

Not sure why anyone would want to go in a hot tub anyway with other people. It’s like sharing a big bath.
Buy him a paddling pool to splash around in. He really won’t care.

I have news for you......the world does not revolve around you and your child. If you can accept this your life will become so much easier I can guarantee it.

You are being ridiculous. The country I live in a hot tub/spa is installed in pretty much every house and babies are in it from 12 months on. Just turn the temp down a bit. Takes a few hours or leave the lid off.
YABTFU to dictate what adults do in case a toddler gets jealous.

I get where you’re coming from, OP.

My sister and brother-in-law have a big place with land. They enjoy archery and quad biking. Also my sister put in a home gym. She also loves cooking and does big family meals.

But my toddler can’t shoot arrows, drive a quad bike or use the gym. And I think it would be best if he wasn’t around naked flames and boiling water in the kitchen.

I’ve complained again and again about the way they spend their money and enjoy themselves without thinking of my wee one.

I’ve gone NC now because they’re excluding my little son. Well, to be fair, my whole family’s gone NC with me. Which just shows you how selfish they are.
