To be pissed off and frustrated?

[hereforthecakeandwine]

Does anyone else take their ten year old child and their friend to the trampoline park, costing 60 pounds for two hours and the friend sits at the table for most of the time with her face tripping her saying she's tired? Also complaining that my daughter just wants to bounce on the trampoline and she's too tired of bouncing 🙄 honestly.

She is staying over tonight and was hoping this would knackered them out. If it was my own child she would be told that I've spent a lot of money on this and to go and play. Not sure how to handle it with someone else's child.

Any advice? Bit pissed off to be honest.

You tell her to go off and play unless she'd rather go home

They're 10. It sounds shit but you're in charge here.

Did you check she liked trampolining beforehand? One of mine would love it and one would hate it. They are still quite young but would let you know beforehand if you asked.
If she previously indicated she'd enjoy it and is now acting like this, YANBU and I've be annoyed at the waste of money too.

Are you sure she likes trampolining? Perhaps she doesn't, but doesn't feel confident enough to say so.

Perhaps she felt under pressure to say yes to going but really can't hack it.

Took our FS and friend. They git a slush each to come for breaks and during their hour they probably spent equal time on the trampolines and sitting at the table.
I sat thinking this has cost a lot and I could have just bought you a slush! I did encourage them to go back on but I did feel a bit annoyed!

Two hours is a long time to go trampolining. Go for one hour next time and food / drink after. Have water at the table and nothing else.

Trampolining is knackering and repetitive, especially if you aren’t great at it. My daughter would def not do two hours. My son who is very athletic would need regular breaks. I’d prob expect 60:40 split bouncing:breaks
