[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Feed and return child.

And what's with the stretchy suit nonsense? My daughter can't use the next size down and the next size up. They're not that stretchy! Ridiculous.[/quote]

I’m baffled by these people with apparent rigid form fitting children’s bathing suits- where are you even buying them? My 5 year old is still obsessed with a 2T bathing suit that she’s had for years and will periodically insist on squeezing into it. It sounds like in this case the would be borrower is the smaller one, so worst case it would just be baggy. Having grown up in California with regular impromptu pool dates we regularly made do with borrowing bathing suits several sizes too big or too small….it’s not a fashion show.

That being said I think it’s perfectly reasonable for the op to not want to take/pay for the friend…a poorly fitted bathing suit just seems a unnecessary additional excuse.[/quote]

OP is asking for advice as to whether it would be rude not to take the kid to the pool—meaning she doesn’t want to be rude! In what universe would you think it is OK to put a girl who isn’t your kid (around 9 by the ages OP later says her kids are) in a suit that’s way too big for her, meaning straps are falling down and the butt/crotch area can move aside and expose things that shouldn’t be exposed at the pool? I wouldn’t want my daughter’s 9yo body exposed at the pool, would you? I wouldn’t want to be responsible for another kid’s body to be exposed at the pool, would you?[/quote]
