We are on holiday-me,dh, dd20 and dd17. Today we had tickets for the watermark. we arrived, got changed and put everything except towels in lockers and found some sunbeds. Everyone else grabbed inflatable hoops I had said I didn't want to go on the big fast slides.They disappeared and i expected them back in a few minutes as nant of the slide end pools were nearby. 2 hours Iater they finally show up, having left my all that time with no access to anything in the locker sunscreen, book,phone, and no clue they would be so long. I wanted to swim, go in the lazy river and the wave pool but not on my own I looked for them times but the park is vast

Yes, but also as an adult I would have had my locker key, sunscreen and phone on me. And I would have said, "OK big slides for you. When are you back here?"

Who had the locker key?

IfOnlyOurEyesSawSouls · 16/08/2022 01:24

Yes I would be upset by the thoughtlessness.

I don't now, I think perhaps they expected you to be self-sufficient. As an adult. You should have had your own locker key. You obviously had different interests at the park and you weren't interested in doing what they wanted to do. Unless there was a good reason someone else was responsible for your belongings, yabu.

So you didn't think and prepare for the situation and are just blaming it on them im sure if you had gone for a swim they would have been able to find you eventually...

... Try communicating when you express a wish not to participate. 'oh i dont want to do that. Can you make sure i have stuff whilst you go do it? What time are we meeting?'

This is not a hard task to initiate yourself.

The lockers were 10 euros each whi h is why we shared. You put all your valuables in the lockers a v d then pay for anything you need with a wristband

Yeah tbh for 2 whole hours I would be pissed. But I always have a book with me so would've passed the time with that.

How annoying for you OP

Chillow · 19/08/2022 01:32

YANBU. Who had the licker key? I was just about to say, lockers are expensive and we usually just get one locker as it fits all of our things.

I think they were a bit thoughtless to leave you alone for so long but they probably caught up in the adrenaline of queuing up for the big rides.

I don’t understand why you didn’t go on the lazy river, wave pool etc on your own? Yes, it’s fun with others but there’s no way I would have sat around, I would have gone to enjoy those things on my own.

SeasonFinale · 19/08/2022 01:33

So keep the locker key next time. YABU in the situation you describe
