To think it's insane for parents put kids in jumpers at soft play

[sleepinglionsroar]

Right first I know IABVVVVU to go to soft play at half term, on a rainy day. But why do parents let their DC run around in sweatshirts and knitted jumpers with steam coming off their heads? Why don't they arrive and take them off. Just so many sweaty, red faced fleece wearing kids. I literally saw a boy being given water and fanned by his mum, but he still had on a sweatshirt. He had a collar sticking out so I can only assume he had a T-shirt underneath. Ahhh just seems crazy.

This is such a perfectly innocuous gripe to bring to the internet. I approve and YANBU.

slow day is it?

slow day is it?

Well I've worn myself out this morning.

I do have another worry, it's not an aibu. But when do you think I should make up my sweet cones for Halloween? My DD had a sweet cone from a party last week and the shrimps were stale as she didn't like them, I had a few. So I'm wondering if they go off if not airtight ?

Surely the majority of children who are 3 and over are capable of taking their own jumpers off?

Which means your grips is about parents of younger children, in which case you should be moaning they are taking them to soft play during school half term :)

Meh, they’ll say if they’re hot. If I’m at soft play I’m probably at / near the end of my parenting rope, so my DC can do/wear/say what they like as long as there’s no bleeding.

No idea about sweet cones but I’d crack on and sample a few as you go.

Winning at parenting here

I seriously can't see how this would bother anyone, are you the perfect parent? let others do what they want and you get on with your own life, how does it impact on you or your children? maybe just maybe it was a toddler drama and just didn't want to take the bloody jumper off

I think you need to get away from softplay if this is all you can find to complain about.

The answer is you don't make sweet cones. You just buy haribo like normal people. No one cares that you spent hours lovingly putting your hands all over placing sweets in a bag.

My kid was running around soft play in a jumper this morning.. he would have told me if he was too hot and the tantrum you would have seen if I had tried to remove it would have been EPIC.

I like this thread. Agree with you, the jumper thing is weird.

Sweet cones, morning of Halloween? My DS is too old for trick or treating but we are getting a pumpkin to put outside as a good excuse to buy sweets which we plan to mostly eat ourselves

This made me smile (in solidarity). The only reason I went to soft play this morning was to "de-bounce" my 3 year old who was really pushing my buttons and driving me mad! Thankfully it paid off.

A lot of kids were older than toddler like 4/5/6. I can only imagine they can't be bothered to remove them or they are too busy.

And yes of course I am bloody perfect, thanks for the recognition < preens >

YANBU although I always put mine in a long sleeved t-shirt because I got a friction burn on my arm on a helter skelter as a child .

DS spent the entirety of soft play in a Christmas jumper the other day. He must have been boiling. He's 6 - I'm not going to wrestle him out of it if he wants to wear it. I said you look hot, shall we take that off etc but no. What do you think these parents should do if the child doesn't want to take their jumper off?
