I am usually a very calm person.
Being a parent is a bloody hard job and the hours and pay sucks and know first hand that little bundles of joy soon turn into energy sucking vampires, but was so sodding angry this weekend.
Took my ds5 to a soft play place at the weekend. There was a couple in there with three kids ranging from 4-7. It was really quiet only a handful of kids so my son and the kids ended up playing together.
Anyway i kept seeing the mum and dad of these kids leaving to go downstairs and they were gone about 20 mins or so. This happend a few times and i just assumed that gran or someone was round the other side keeping a eye out.
A little while on i saw one of the kids had dragged a ride on trike to the top of a massive slide and was getting on it to go down, so went over and said best not too as they could get hurt ect.
A little while later my son came over a bit upset as the kids were throwing things and ganging up on him, when the kids followed him over i just got my son to sit with me for a bit in the hope it would all calm down.
A few min later heard a massive crash and screams, one of the kids had throw a trike off the side of a slide and it had hit one of the other ones who was screaming her head off. the other two kids at this point were trying to calm her down ect. This is when one of the staff went over to investigate and came up to me to ask me to watch my kids while in the soft play. I explained that i had no idea who the kids were and my son was sitting beside me having a slush puppy.
Told the woman that i thought the kids belonged to a couple who went out a little while ago (for about the 4th time).
She put on a announcement over the sound system but no one came.
At this point we decided to call it a day and head home, when we left you have to go downstairs through the lesuire center to get out and saw the couple whos kids they were sitting at the bar with a couple of pints shouting at the girl who worked in soft play who had come to find them to tell them that there kid had been crying. The girl was trying to explain that it is not a babysitting service ect and the parents were going mad at her saying it was the soft play's fault for letting the kid take the trike up in the first place.
Just felt so upset for the girl that worked there and couldnt believe that the parents felt it was ok to just wander off and leave the kids while they sat in a different part of the building and had a pint 
Surely if you needed time away from the kids you would at least have the common sense to sneak off one at a time?
