Public nipple licking on holiday?

I'm on my hols at a naice AI family resort. I've got a bloody stream of AIBUs to post but I'll try and confine myself to one a day.

So basically this hotel has some private swim up rooms. They are dotted around but a lot face the main thoroughfare, so you are just feet away from a lone couple sunbathing and swimming in their private pool.

DH and I were promenading earlier with DS who is three. Couple about four feet away from us in their private bit. We are all very close. She is topless. He exits their room, gets on the sunbed next to her, leans over and pinches one of her nipples and sucks the other one!!

Now I'm not a prude, I don't think, but WTF!!!! DH shouted "oy mate, we've got a kid here!" And they gave us weak smiles and by then we had walked past.... Is doing stuff like that literally a few feet from a three year old OK? I don't think DH should have said anything really but I was shocked. DH is a total prude so he was probably having an internal crisis. AIBU to think keep your nipple licking to yourself?

They were not in a private area and they were being inappropriate. I mean their bedroom was presumably a few feet away! They should have had some decorum. I would have been shocked too, and no, the OP and her DH were not leering or gawping, they were walking past.

They couple should have gone indoors or just NOT done the nip sucking when people were walking past and they were in full public view. There's a time and place.

...when ds was 2, we took him on a topless beach in Greece

not for long

he kept shouting NIBBLES! NIBBLES! NIBBLES!

Sitdownandshutup · 15/06/2015 17:33

I could not have been more shocked if he was fingering her

Grin Grin Grin

You never know what you might see when you're next promenading

eddiemairswife · 15/06/2015 17:33

I'm feeling very old. Promenading is quite a normal word as far as I'm concerned, but until a few minutes ago I'd never heard of swim-up rooms.

Fingering Grin do people still do that? Oh to be young again

WorraLiberty · 15/06/2015 17:38

And DS was enthralled..."Mummy I can see that woman's BOOBIES! Is that big man having milk mummy, mummy, mummy, mummy is that man having milk mummy mummy mummy is that man HAVING SOME MILK mummy, mummy, he is HAVING SOME MILK FOR BABIES mummy mummy mummy mummy" etc for a good hour afterwards.

Really though? And for a good hour after?

You'd think with everything going on around him that he probably wouldn't have noticed, unless it was your DH that drew it to his attention by shouting?

Boysclothes · 15/06/2015 17:41

Yup worra! DS gets fixed on things. But obv DH saying something made it all more exciting!

I didnt want to say. But now that you have. Yes, oh to be young again and down with arthritic fingers. Grin

AoifeBell · 15/06/2015 18:02

YABVU they're in a private area. If they were by the communal pool I'd agree with you but what they do in their own pool is none of your business.

Sickoffrozen · 15/06/2015 18:03

Do people still go topless? Not seen much of that on holiday recently. Was all the rage a few years ago!

Wagglebee · 15/06/2015 18:06

Promenading? Grin

Totally going to use this word as much as possible this Summer. It's due a revival.

Icimoi · 15/06/2015 18:08

OP, I really wish you had left your 3 year old there to direct his questions and comments direct to the couple in question. It would have been fabulous to stand there watching their reaction to a child yelling "I can see that woman's BOOBIES! Are you having milk, Mr Man, are you HAVING SOME MILK, look everyone he is HAVING SOME MILK FOR BABIES!"

WorraLiberty · 15/06/2015 18:09

Promenading sounds like flamboyant dogging, but by the seaside and with Kiss Me Quck hats Grin

WorraLiberty · 15/06/2015 18:09

*Quick

PrimalLass · 15/06/2015 18:11

Please tell me that there isn't a lot of toplessness going on now. DS would run and hide.

Wagglebee · 15/06/2015 18:15

Argh! Don't ruin it for me Worra

Sickoffrozen · 15/06/2015 18:16

Wasn't any where I have just been.

PrimalLass · 15/06/2015 18:17

Phew - where was that?

Weebirdie · 15/06/2015 18:24

|YABVU they're in a private area. If they were by the communal pool I'd agree with you but what they do in their own pool is none of your business.

Did you miss the bit where its been said repeatedly that the private pool wasn't secluded and could be seen by everyone. It was only private in that only them could use it. It wasnt private in that no one could see it.

ClearEyesFullHearts · 15/06/2015 18:32

He noticed us gaping and said "you didn't see this man, you didn't see this"

One must give him props for styling it out, no?

Reminds me of when My husband catches me smoking;

"Aha!"

"No! No I'm not! I definitely am not."

Sometimes it's best to pretend things didn't happen. Like when my lovely MiL quietly farted.

SiL: Mum! Did you fart?

MiL: I think it's best we ignore it.

OP, YANBU, but I think it's best we ignore it. Wink

Dp fingered me on a sun lounger once.

In my defence it was an adult only roof terrace with us and another couple at either end. And he was subtle. Ish.

And it was an all inclusive.

LotusLight · 15/06/2015 19:33

What is an AI holiday? Something where each room gets it sown pool?

Why are so many families so sexually repressed? It sounds like your husband needs therapy. Did he have problems with his potty training as a boy? Did his family never walk around naked? Does he favour the burka? Does he wish he were getting more sex than he is?
