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

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)

YeTalkShiteHen this was in the second update...

SmartyPants “with a nappy on” ought to have covered whether she was naked or not!

Artichoke18 · 24/08/2018 17:18

Was watching a Facebook clip this week with dh that featured a baby in their nappy - dh called it a girl and I said you can't tell - yes you can, he said, her chest is more developed than a boy (there was a bit of "pudge" in the chest area). I only have boys - he's talking bollocks isn't he?

If it were me I would have been tempted to tell him to cover up his saggy man boobs.

However, I would probably have done exactly as your lovely DSD did.

He went low and she went high.

YANBU.

I always think the people who are worried about naked children are the ones to watch out for

Clionba · 24/08/2018 17:28

She wasn't even naked, she had a nappy on!

AFistfulofDolores1 · 24/08/2018 17:31

I'd be concerned about him, tbh. His fear, and then his highly charged response to your DH feels like a case of projection to me.

AFistfulofDolores1 · 24/08/2018 17:31

My thoughts exactly, Lethal.

TheIcon · 24/08/2018 17:39

I'd be making him aware that the only person staring at and sexualising the 2yo is him.

dontlikebeards · 24/08/2018 17:44

Your DSD sounds amazing.

continuallychargingmyphone · 24/08/2018 17:49

Ok, I get the baby had a nappy on. But to be honest, I’m not comfortable with children running around naked. I know everyone will shout at me Blush but I can’t help it, it makes me embarrassed. However, I am certainly not someone who would ever harm a child, it’s just how I feel Sad

DartmoorDoughnut · 24/08/2018 17:57

For fucks sake how can anyone be made uncomfortable by a naked baby?!

Hadjab · 24/08/2018 18:09

@DartmoorDoughnut to be fair, my son used to make me uncomfortable when he was running around the house naked - I never knew when I was going to step in a wet patch....

DiegoMadonna · 24/08/2018 18:10

This. And I'd probably say that to the guy if he brought it up again.

Beansonapost · 24/08/2018 18:17

Perhaps he's the pedophile...

Why else would a 2 year old in a nappy bother you?

Not wanting to be found out...

lily2403 · 24/08/2018 18:29

@Artichoke18

Yes he’s talking bollocks, I have both girls and boys and you cannot tell from the chest alone

lily2403 · 24/08/2018 18:30

Naked babies make you uncomfortable...I think that speaks volumes about you Hmm

Willow2017 · 24/08/2018 18:30

How on earth can a baby with just a napoy on make anyone uncomfortable?
The very fact they are babies with nothing to show ahould negate any feelings of 'uncomfortable'.

How on earth do people manage with a beach/pool full of half naked adult men?

As for the grandfather, just another misogynist prick trying up put women in thier place. Blank him op. But if he does dare to say anything tell him you are more worried about him finding a 2yr old sexually attractive than the fact that an innocent baby has no clothes on and suggest he stays away from the pool what with all the kids in swimming cossies and all you dont want him spontaneously combusting.

Loyaultemelie · 24/08/2018 18:31

If dsd is free anytime at all I have a 3 and an 8 year old I'd be honoured for her to look after

agedknees · 24/08/2018 18:34

Your dsd sounds lovely. Grandpa was an interfering biddy.

Antigon · 24/08/2018 18:39

Does a 16yo really say 'I'm perfectly capable of looking after a 2yo?' Did she use those words?

Artichoke18 · 24/08/2018 18:55

Thanks lily

DartmoorDoughnut · 24/08/2018 19:41

@Hadjab yeah that’s a fair point 😂😂😂

CoughLaughFart · 24/08/2018 20:31

Going around to ‘have a word’ seems a bit much. Why make things worse? As for paedophile accusations, that seems more than a little bit of an extreme assumption.

Willow2017 · 24/08/2018 22:47

If some interfering busybody ranted at my child for no good reason i would have a word with them too. Especially as they started it by being ignorant and telling them something completely unacceotable.
