It's for like five minutes when they first get there, and they get their jollies out from sitting on the plane for hours. Then they hop down and are over it.

Obviously when they're around 7 or 8 I'll shut it down. But for now five minutes of jumping by two little girls seems fine to me.

Exactly. And because there are usually two queen beds, they get to jump from one to the other. There's nothing wrong with this at all for little kids. My god, you people are really joyless.

You people really are bizarre.

Trashy is a better word for it.

Because they break, wear down, get damaged.

jumping on the bed in a hotel room lasts like 2 minutes and it is fun for my kids. the best time was when we were in this hotel in Minnesota and they had 3 beds in one room...

You're probably the type that lets them run up and down the halls laughing and disturbing everyone, too, "because it's fun for them."

How the heck does jumping on the bed disturb you?

Man this thread is full of all of DCUM's resident 'cranky old person yelling to get off their lawn' types.

I don't understand how its possible to get this worked up over what OTHER PEOPLE do with their kids in their recreational time that essentially hurts no one and is about experiencing a tiny moment of childhood joy and excitement with your kids. We could all do with a little more of that :-/

It disturbs me (and others) because it's usually accompanied by yelling, loud laughing or squealing, the clunking of the headboard or frame, thuds when they land on the floor, etc. and the behavior doesn't stop there. When parents let their kids do this it's usually a sign that decorum as a whole is absent. And hotel walls are PAPER THIN. I can't tell you how many times I've been on a business trip and disturbed by children who are old enough to behave therm selves and be quiet. This thread is equally as full of entitled, oblivious parents who think their little brats can do whatever they want and the rest of the public be damned, "because they're just kids!!!"

The sounds of happiness are more righteous and valuable than your stupid business trip no matter how important you think you are.

But if jumping is OK, why don't you allow it at home? Teaching kids that it's OK to trash property, as long as it isn't yours. Great lesson...

My kids don’t jump on hotel beds (I don’t think they were ever interested) but I let them jump on my bed at home every single evening. So far I don’t think the world has collapsed and the bed hasn’t either. If you guys were any more uptight, you wouldn’t be able to sit down!

Yes. She really let herself go.

Because they have not been taught to respect other peoples' things. Teaching respect has all but disappeared in contemporary child-rearing.
