[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]

This is my DH. Not as extreme and out kids are you get bit often he's the only adult in the pool and once it's clear no one else has an eye on them, he feels somewhat obligated to remain. He also.gets overheated so enjoys being in the water. Most parties we go to have adults in & out of the pool so he obviously does socialize in the pool and then also eats, talks to other adult guests etc. But frankly this doesn't seem that odd to me - if her 11yo DD didn't know anyone else and asked the mom to stay in the pool, so what?[/quote]
