Did I over react?

Longer than I thought so thanks for reading ...

Staying at a really expensive resort courtesy of my lovely inlaws. Really family oriented. Put the children into kids club yesterday evening for a pyjama party.

Eldest rang me saying that 5 year old was really upset at losing a game of musical chairs.
What made him worse was the people looking after them said that he was acting like a baby and to stop crying.

When he didn't she said that because he was acting like a baby then she would read peppa pig to everyone as a punishment. This made him more upset.

I asked DD to put the phone to him, got him to calm down by "smell the flowers, blow out the candle". When I collected I was told that DD having the phone wasn't ideal and not to bring it again. I told them that the way DS was treated wasn't acceptable and was told that the children got the wrong idea and that it didn't happen like that. Hmmm all 4 of them tell me the same story. I believe the children.

Here's the problem I've cancelled kids club booking for tomorrow and DH thinks that the older ones should go in because they'll still have fun Confused

We had a fight about it last night and today.

Did I overreact? Or should I let the older ones in (11, 9 and7)

Send them all or your dc will remember the holiday for all the wrong reasons.
Surely worth a second go or you won't be dc free and your youngest will miss out.
Not everyone wins and agree they handled it crap but not worth scrapping the club imo.

I wouldn't send them

I would let them choose if they want to go back or not, maybe the 7yo might stay behind and keep the little one company? No way would I send the 5yo back there though, imo you're right to be cross, it doesn't sound like the best place for little ones.

We don't generally do kids clubs so they don't really know the concept of them.

Planning on football and tennis instead so we will have something to do. I think they were going to do face painting for the younger ones.

That's an idea.
I asked DD earlier today what she thought. She suggested that DS is moved up to their group and they'd look after him.
That would leave the little one in the kids club so we discounted that. But if we didn't send the little one in that would work.
