Kid asking for water in playground - wwyd ?

[Anonymous]

Makes me think of George Carlin:

"And what happened in this country that now suddenly everyone is walking around with their own personal bottle of water? when did we get so thirsty in America? is everybody so dehydrated they have to have their own portable supply of fluids with them at all times? get a drink before you leave the house. "

I also walk to the park. Would try to help the kid if possible. And at least be kind to them and not dismissive if they were repeatedly asking for help.

But would you give them your water?

If it was clean and possible too. Sure. Yes. I’d also ask other parents if they had anything disposable or a cup if I didn’t. We live in a community.

There's a pandemic happening. Didn't you get the memo?

So then I wouldn’t have drank out of it, JFC

You... would have given a strange child water out of a bottle your child already drank from, in front of her mom, who had already said no? And you think that was the appropriate response here?

No. Not if it’s used. Yes if we have spares that are unused.

The person dismissing the kid was the kid's mom... not the OP. The OP didn't have any water to give the child.

I’m responding to the eff the kids complaints, they’ll live smoke em up Johnny responses here. Most are posting as if they’d simple pretend not to hear this kid...because they’ll live. Toughen up.

I would never ignore the child. I would say, no I don't have water or you may not have my water.

It's the same as the snack culture here. Snacks and water for 1 hour at the playground. It's a little insane.

Yup.

This. If it were super hot or she looked like she was getting heatstroke I’d give it to her, even from a used bottle. That wasn’t the case before you.

You are very simple minded. No one is giving a rando kid a half drank bottle. But if they have a spare, many would. Are you a troll or just unable to understand basic human interactions? Is nuance difficult for you? The person said nothing about sharing a bottle that’s in use.

Shaking my head.

One girl around the age of 7-8 walked up and asked us if she can please have some water because she is really thirsty. I asked where her parents were. She pointed to her mom and her friend who were power walking around the playground. When the moms came closer I told them her daughter had asked for water. The mom laughed and said "oh ok she's just being silly".

15 min later the moms are back to power walking and the girl asks somebody else for water again. The mom approaches again and tells her daughter "what are you doing? I don't have water, if you want water we have to go home".

Would you have given the girl water or mind your own business? We didn't have any unopened bottles, just the baby's sippy cup and a bottle I had been drinking from.

You didn’t have anything to share. That’s difficult. I’d feel poorly about it. But we can’t share personal cups even in normal times. I do occasionally have extras , but tend to pack light when on foot.

Yeah, but do you see how your sheer laziness adversely affects your child?

Maybe if OP shared her used bottle the mom would notice - but I bet not.
