[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When you see a kid misbehaving in the pool and mommy and/or daddy are too busy reading/gossiping/texting to control their own kid, do you say something? (And by misbehaving I mean squirting 2 year-olds in the face with those dumb, foam water guns, splashing toddlers, dunking your kid, etc.)

If so, what do you say and have you ever gotten a response from the kid's parent(s)?  [/quote]

Squirting at a pool is onet hing, dunking another.  I have chastised a child for dunking his 3yo sister (i knew neither) ebcause it's a safety issue and I'm not going to watch a kid drown for fear of upsetting someone's sensibilities.  With squirting water- chill out, it's a pool.  [b]Teach your kid to stand up for himself if he doesn't like being squirted[/b]. [/quote]

I have a couple of special needs kids whose challenges aren't readily apparent.  We are teaching them to stand up for themselves but it's not as simple as it seems to have been for you.  Until my kids are able to do it for themselves, I'll do it for them.  There are a lot more kids like mine than you think and even if they aren't I'm happy to model for them.  I don't really care what you think of me or my kids but you can bet I'm not going to tolerate your brat squirting my kids or making their time at the pool unpleasant.[/quote]
