Screaming children at my apartment pool

[Anonymous]

Had to vent. I (unfortunately) accidentally rented in a building that for some reason has a lot of children. Every time I go to the pool to relax I am surrounded by children screaming, slapping each other with pool noodles, splashing other people, high pitched shrieking, etc. cannot wait to move to a building without a lot of little kids.

Until you are 55+, you probably won't be able to guarantee no little kids in any apartment building you rent. Even if no kids live there at the time you sign the lease, new people with kids could move in and existing tenants could give birth, adopt, foster, etc.

Yeah, fair point. Although what really bothered me is that the mom of the screamer was yakking on the phone for an hour while her child shrieked and annoyed everyone else.

You know you are posting on a parenting board, right, OP?

These children are outside. Yelling/shrieking is allowed outside.

Was everyone else actually annoyed? Or just you?

You know there are 20+ other topic forums not involving parenting, right?

But we won't have much sympathy for you. Got it?

I'm the OP and I didn't post the previous comment. Seems others agree with me though.

Let me guess OP-you were born at the age of 32 right?

I have a child and I am totally on your side, OP. The worst part of parenting for me is having to deal with other people's children. I wear noise cancelling headphones at the pool. Works like a charm.

How do you accidentally rent an apartment?

I have two children, OP, and cannot stand the screamers. Parents who let their kids do it are inconsiderate and self-centered, raising kids who will be the same. Children can have plenty of fun without shrieking to the point it disturbs others around them. Unfortunately, I don't think there's much you can do besides shoot the evil eye to the kids.
