OP just wanted to brag that she went to a country club contrast, you're a hanger-on to the elite!

The parent who heard the comment has probably already forgotten about it so no need to talk with them.

The majority of people are still civilized enough but the vulgarians who think of nothing but themselves are catching up.

how did they determine what percentage of adults pee in the pool?

I bet they did a survey-- anywhere from 20 to 40 percent will admit to it...which means the number is probably far higher

Obviously I dont do this as an adult, but I always assume there is urine in the pool. Also think about the water flowing in and out of everyone's nether regions and then flowing right by your face...

You are disgusting. Forget other people. The fact that you’re ok with swimming in your pee water says a lot about hygiene. Gosh why are people so gross and LAZY?!

You can't read. I did this as a kid. Yes, I was disgusting as a kid. I also hated baths. Anyone who swims in a public pool is swimming in pee water.

This is absolutely revolting. I remember peeing in the pool as a child but would be absolutely mortified to try that as an adult.

Pee in public pools has been quantitatively assessed

They’re men. Men tend to be very good at excusing bad behavior because it’s convenient.

Then at home I would tell him how unsanitary that is and to never do that again.

I actually don't think it is unsanitary. Gross maybe, though.
Poop is a differnt story

He's obnoxious for saying it. He's got a mean streak for mentioning it.

The minute I immerse myself in water I always have the urge to pee. Shower. Bath. Pool. Ocean. I can’t be the only one. I don’t have enough time to get out and find a toilet. It just happens.

The pee in the pool is to be expected. The stronger the chlorine smell the higher the pee concentrate… it’s the swim diapers that gross me out! No way the swim diapers are preventing feces leaks.

Why do you think the shallow end is always hot?

Educate your kid, OP.

This… my kid has no filter and probably pees in the pool since he rarely gets out once in.

But he certainly would never volunteer the info and if asked would never, ever do anything other than vehemently deny and follow up with an upturned lip and an “I’d never do that. Peeing in the pool is gross.”

And do it quickly, not a week later!

Offer to clean a cc pool? Are you serious?

It takes longer for some kids to learn the difference between what you say to other kids and to grownups, even with “very good” parenting. These kids have been in this earth for very little time, lighten up.

When it was time to leave, I said to my son, say thanks to Mrs. ____ for inviting us to come play at the pool, and my son replied "Thanks for having us! I peed in the pool." My friend either didn't hear or pretended not to hear, but I wanted to die. This is so embarrassing right? Am I overthinking this?

What was the tone? If it was matter of fact, it does seem like a social deficit. If a hint of snark, your kid is being an ass. No one seems to be catching that possibility.

I’d kill my kid. They wound be grounded for at least a month if not the whole summer. That’s disgusting behavior and completely unacceptable.
