Please give me your Garden, pool, water Games that WONT end in arguments!

[sewingmamma23]

I’ve googled and searched this no end but all I see is Americans who have much better pools than we do 🤣

In anticipation of the hot weekend ahead I’ve set up our outdoor pool, a decent size one of the Bestway fast set ones. My 10yo & 8yo boys have always LOVED pool days but I’m rather dreading this one as it seems that suddenly there isn’t much they can do together where they don’t end up arguing. I’m pregnant I might add so my patience in this heat isn’t what it should be!

has anyone any tips/games/ideas for keeping 2 competitive and argumentative boys happy in this pool tomorrow? I’m longing for a nice happy weekend!

I so so miss the days when all you’d hear is laughter from the garden instead of a chorus of Muuuuummmm he’s just……!!

Thanks in advance!

I’d leave them to it (unless there was a ball game that needed people!).

If they can’t entertain themselves in the pool threaten once with pulling the plug, if they do it again, start draining. They are old enough to understand consequences.
