To think these kids were out of order?

[snowtippedmountain]

Hi! Looking for opinions as my big sis thinks I'm out of order and a grump!! Maybe I am... Don't get out much!!
I'm staying in a hotel for a couple of days as a birthday treat. It'd or posh, a Best Western chain hotel but mostly quiet.
Until last night, around 9.30-10.30 pm we were having drinks in the lounge area when 3 kids appeared. Aged I'd guess between 8 and 12.
They were lively, running about, doing handstands/cartwheels etc, fine, a bit annoying but fine, can't expect them to sit quietly all the time.
Then the parents (who'd been finishing a meal) came to join them and handed each of them a nerf gun.
That was it... Full of laser quest style play with screaming, shooting and ducking under/behind chairs and tables. Parents snapping pictures and laughing.
There were a few other groups trying to have a drink and most moved to the smallish bar area to avoid them.

I was really annoyed and thought they should have found more suitable games for their little dears to play.

Big sis, thinks it's their holiday too, none of our business.... Stop being a grump.

I am a grump, I've come to get away from kid noise as I'm a teacher of young kids and have young kids too so...

An ok thing to do and op is a gouch?
Or not something you'd be ok with?

Thanks?

milliemollimou Absolutely. If the children need to run around then the parents need to take them to a park, beach or sports centre. Even in half term a hotel bar/reception area/Lounge is not somewhere to play physical games.

The hotel is a quiet location on the edge of a forest. It does seem to pride itself on being child friendly but is not the first place you'd think to head to if you had a lively family, if that makes sense?

In my opinion the forest would have been perfect for nerf gun play during the day!!
