I am in hospital with my child, on a children's ward. There is a day room that is for the children & parents to use. It has some toys and a plays station and tv in it as well as a few sofas.
I popped in there for a cup of tea earlier and was surprised to look up and see a big poster in front of me of a woman wearing a bra ands knickers and posing in a very provocative way. On closer inspection, I realised it was a poster of Kylie and she has signed it, for the children's ward.
I may be unreasonable (I have had very little sleep) but the more I looked at it, the more it incensed me. It just seems unnecessary and bloody inappropriate for the day room.
I went out and spoke to the two women on ward reception an they looked at me as if I was a complete twerp. One of them shrugged and said:: "Yes, but teenagers use that room you see".
I said to her "Presumably you have teenage girls as well as boys? If I saw that on the wall in my place of work, I would complain about it. It wouldn't be appropriate in a school, it is not appropriate here, I don't want to look at it when I am sitting in there & I don't think it sends an acceptable message to any teenagers or children, male or female".
I was clearly very cross by this time. The woman shrugged again and said "Well, we can only pass it on".
The lack of sleep and worry is making me feel angrier by the minute (worry about my child, not specifically the Kylie poster!).
Would I be unreasonable to rip it off the wall and hide it? Or should I just take a deep breath and let this one go?
