to want mums in gym changing rooms to stop their children looking under my shower door??

[UpsyDozy]

I get enough "ha haa! Look at your boobies!" comments from my own children. Today in the gym, 2 children about 3ish kept peering under the door as I showered in the communal shower area. The mum was in another cubicle so the children (who were fully dressed and changed) were just wandering about unattended.

Was I mean to "accidentally" flick soapy water at them as I rinsed my hair?

pip she's not in an "impossible situation" ffs! I have two DDs and they would run riot in hat situation....so I don't go with them unless I have help.

Child died in a public swimming pool recently ;(

If you flick soapy water at children - don't be upset if children as they grow up think it is normal to copy your behaviour.

if you don't like the way someone or some child is behaving then say your behaviour is making me unhappy can you please stop doing that

Then the child will learn that if someone is doing something they don't like - they can say to them please don't do that as It makes me unhappy

teaching by example and learning by example is one of the oldest methods of how society will shape itself

ivy I am glad there is another likeminded person, I still think that was unreasonable.

directional flicks - sly or straight?

One of these days those snooping children are going to find themselves at the wrong end of someone's foot. I wouldn't think an adult would kick them but a child might.

I think a cold, cross tone is just the right thing. They're old enough to know what it means and they know that they shouldn't be doing this. My teeth itch when I hear... "But they're only children", because that can be legitimately said for anybody under the age of 18.

When my Ds was little he had a thing for doing this! It usually happened as we walked past the showers and I was legging it after Ds2. Since then many children have got their own back as I went to the gym only this morning and a little boy did the same to me. His mum looked as mortified as I used to

Our local pool has a playpen/kiddie jail in the shower area for the containment of small rampaging toddlers for 2 mins while parents have a shower.

I'd be fucking annoyed if they were doing it to me... people are in the cubicles because they want to get sorted in private - what gives others the right to piss all over their rights and feelings?
