[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]“My new friends invited me to a barbecue at their house with a pool. There was no lifeguard and lots of kids in the pool. The parents were only watching the kids sporadically, so I felt for safety I had to spend the entire bbq watching everyone else’s kids since rhe other parents just kept walking away to focus on their conversations and food. Do you think my new friends like me or are just using me for free babysitting? Also who has a pool party where the adults don’t get in the pool??”[/quote]

Nobody asked her to be responsible. That was her choice.[/quote]

And so you would freeze her out because she is more concerned about water safety? Maybe her kid is a weak swimmer. Maybe her kid has seizures and has to be watched closely. Maybe she had a sibling drown. Maybe she’s just highly conscientious and all the other adults were drunk. [/quote]

We weren't drunk.  Two of our good friends are Muslim, so out of respect for them we don't drink when they are invited.  Nobody was drunk.

And again, there was always one adult stationed at the pool.  [/quote]

why did you write this then OP?

“The other adults sat together, eating, enjoying some drinks, and talking”[/quote]
