We are currently on holiday- Me, DH, DSD (16) DSS (11) and DD (2).

We are staying in a small complex of holiday apartments- there’s four in total. We are on the ground floor alone and there’s two families upstairs- one who is Mum/Dad and 2 kids under 10 (family 1) and another family- grandparents, Mum/Dad and 3 kids who’s son is the same age as DSS (family 2)

This morning DSD suggested she took DSS and DD to the pool so me and DH could have some alone time. It’s a shared pool between the 4 apartments.

Anyway DD was having a nap in her pushchair by the pool, woke up and DSD discovered she had done a massive poo and went to change her. DSS was still playing in the pool with

Sorry posted too soon!

DSS was still playing in the pool with family 2s children, who were being supervised by their grandparents.

Once DD was changed, DSD let her have a run about (supervised!) with just a nappy on. The grandfather asked her to put some clothes on her as “there are children present and you never know who is lurking about”. DSD pointed out she is a 2 year old and she is perfectly capable of protecting her sister from potential pedophiles. Clearly this aggravated the gentleman because he went on a massive rant at DSD who shut him down, told DSS to get out of the pool and came back to the apartment with them both.

DSD was very upset because she has only recently started looking after DD on her own as she hasn’t been confident enough to do it until literally a couple of weeks ago.

DH went and knocked on the family’s apartment to have a word with the gentleman and was told to “fuck off” in front of his grandchildren (who he wanted to protect from a naked 2 year old Hmm)

I’m pissed off about it majorly and it’s put a dampener on our last day.

AIBU?

I'd sunbathe topless tomorrow.

Bluntness100 · 24/08/2018 16:39

I'd suggest a couple of rounds of water all round. Kind of like a peace offering..,

Dollymixture22 · 24/08/2018 16:40

This man sound like an unstable idiot. Tell DSD she handled the situation really well and you are proud of her. Tell both kids that if this man speaks to them again they are to politely direct him to you and your husband.

Justanothernameonthepage · 24/08/2018 16:41

I'd be highly praising dsd who handled it perfectly.
Then just carry on as normal. A 2 year old does not need to be covered up (apart from nappy).

WineGummyBear · 24/08/2018 16:43

Ignore them all! Don't let them ruin your holiday.

And reassure your DSD that you are really happy with how she looks after your DC, that she coped really well with the situation. There will always be some numpty...

YeTalkShiteHen · 24/08/2018 16:44

I’d tell the man in question that if he ever upset my DSD again, being a nosey fucker would be the least of his worries!

What kind of dickhead verbally batters a teenage girl?

YeTalkShiteHen · 24/08/2018 16:45

Oh your DSD sounds ace btw.

Reaa · 24/08/2018 16:45

Cover up what? Her bare chest? Only if they cover up their DGC bare chests too.

Namechangeforthiscancershit · 24/08/2018 16:47

Sending lots of love and cheers to your DSD. I don’t know how old she is but this would have upset me when I was looking after my younger siblings, and she handled it exactly right.

Namechangeforthiscancershit · 24/08/2018 16:47

Sorry she is 16 and I can’t read!

SmartyPants0 · 24/08/2018 16:49

I can't understand from your post if DD was naked or had a nappy on?

YeTalkShiteHen · 24/08/2018 16:53

Once DD was changed, DSD let her have a run about (supervised!) with just a nappy on

SmartyPants it’s in the OP Grin

1CantPickAName · 24/08/2018 16:53

Yes, some people do need to mind their own business. Why does a 2yo need to cover up ffs.

Your dsd did the right thing

Lweji · 24/08/2018 16:57

I'd be worried about this, ahem, gentleman. Was he worried he might, you know, feel temptation?

Lweji · 24/08/2018 16:57

Also, on Trending it shows as "To think people need to learn to fuck". Grin

tillytrotter1 · 24/08/2018 16:57

Constantly take photos of him, that'll really wind him up!

Clionba · 24/08/2018 16:57

How can anyone think there's a problem with a toddler running round in her nappy? It's only her wee chest exposed!!

listsandbudgets · 24/08/2018 16:59

Your DSD sounds brilliant (do you hire her out?)

Tell her to ignore the stupid man and thank her for doing a brilliant job looking after her siblings
