[quote=oldtownmom85]Hi

So DH and I had a pool party this past weekend. We invited some of our friends and their kids along with our college aged son and his friends.

So the kids set up a water volleyball net in the pool and started playing.  Ages were my son who is 21 down to 12.

So as you play water volleyball, you will splash and create waves. I think this is normal.

Well one of DH's friends wives did not like it and stood up and proceeded to yell at my son and several kids in the pool to stop splashing.  I ignored it.

Kids continued to play and splashing ensued again. And again the wife stood up and said "you need to stop splashing or the game will stop."

So at this point, I needed to step in as it is my pool and my guests. I quietly said to her "If the splashing bothers you, please sit at the other end of the pool where they aren't playing. There is a table there to sit at."

Apparently that was wrong because she said "Why do I need to leave when they are clearly in the wrong?"  I said "well they aren't splashing in the deep end." And left it at that. Her husband came over to talk to her but you could tell she was not having it.

Who was wrong here?[/quote]
