[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The flag is a great idea...

Your pool, your rules, makes sense to me. Some parents are clueless.

When we had a small pool when my kids were little, once in awhile we'd pull into the driveway and as we got out of the car, suddenly I would see neighborhood kids running down the hill about a block up from us, carrying towels. I would not let kids use the pool unless I was out there watching them so I frequently turned away kids who invited themselves.

A set of parents on my DD's soccer team (she was about 6 or 7) once tried to tell me it was ok for their DD to use the pool because after all, they allowed her to swim alone in their kids' pool all the time 'it's fine, the water's not over her head! It's fine!" I said noooooooooooooo way. WTH were they thinking..[/quote]

These are friends of DD, not random kids.  They're not inviting themselves of using the pool without supervision - just constantly asking DD about it.  The flag idea seems rather strange for 14 year old kids, and the friends aren't even neighbors. [/quote]
