PEOPLE WITHOUT CHILDREN SHOULDNT SIT AROUND KIDS POOLS?

[hifi]

just got back from holiday, huge pool areas, adult only, lap pool etc. one 4m x 4m shallow pool specifically for children.

we parked ourselves there everyday so dd could play in there with all the other toddlers. without fail someone, older couples, young couples no kids would complain about the noise and splashing.

why sit there when there were loads of other child free pools?

Did you suggest they sat by an adult pool instead?

maybe it was shady?

but I don't think YABU really

It's unreasonable for people to be told to sit in a designated area just because they don't have children, but yes unreasonable of them to complain about noise from a children's pool...iyswim

was it the closest to the entrance or specific facilities?

It amazes me as these kind of people tend to be lazy too, if they bothered to walk a bit further to the other pool/places then it would be a win win situation for everyone surely?

and I echo what electra says too!

no shade at all, other pools were alot nicer actually, one elderly couple sat there everyday and tutted.

No problem wth them chooo sit where they like but YANBU to complain about them whinging about children and noise.

Some people are only happy when they're complaining though. They're going to go home and complain to their neighbour about how horrible and noisy it was. YANBU BTW

Twas obviously the elderly couple's idea of entertainment. Would have driven me mad too!

thought this thread was going to be about something completely different.

they can sit where they want at the end of the day, but to then complain about the noise is just pathetic whinging.

I would have said something sarcastic like, 'how about i gag my dc or make then sit indoors so you can enjoy your holiday in peace and quiet' nutters

i gave them very hard stares, also when i was in with dd i made sure we did lots of splashing water together.

some very sensible peoplemoved when we turned up with about 25 inflatables.

And why do they go to family friendly hotels in the school holidays AND THEN COMPLAIN THAT THERE ARE FARKING KIDS THERE!!!!!!!

exactly nametaken, they have all year and choose the main kids hols. dh and i, before dd,avoided the school hols like the plague.

Me and dp are exactly the same as you hifi, why on earth would you want to go in the school holidays unless you had to??

The same holiday would cost you twice as much in school holidays for a start.

And to want to sit near the kids pool unless you had to is just plain crazy IMO.
