[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a 6 year old and a toddler. The 6 year old likes to swim in the baby pool sometimes but she knows she has to be gentle, not kick and flail, no splashing. It's for little ones. I get that kids want to stay cool on the break so I don't care if they come in but I have definitely told 10/11 year olds to stop wrestling/shoving/splashing (hard fight splashing)/using squirt guns aggressively in the baby pool. They listen- they just need the reminder because they are kids and don't think of this stuff. Nobody has ever sassed me or told on me to their mom, they either settle down or leave. You can be assertive to kids, you know. They can't hurt you lol. [/quote]

This thread has been amusing.  It has illustrated how some parents with toddlers have no idea how to parent/interact with older kids [b]yet[/b].  Makes me wonder if these are the same PPs who seem to know it all about the best limits for teens when it comes to screen time and waxing body hair.

[i]Hey!  Knock it off!  There are little ones around![/i][/quote]
