As a parent anytime my daughter acted up one of us would take her outside. She would lose her audience and no one wants to hear that. We only had to do that a few tines before just saying "if you keep this up I'm going to take you out side" would put an end to the fit.....now that being said my daughter was generally a very easy child to raise and I know that is not always the case.

The only reason I can think of, other than them just being a-holes, is that they're used to all the crying and since nobody else comments on it, they'll assume it's not that big of a deal.

I have a cousin whose daughter has manic episodes because she is bipolar and she has had the police called quite a few times on her already. She loves her child and tries to get her to take her medicine but is at her wits end on what else to do.

Just want to offer a different perspective and maybe offer some nuance. I guess the takeaway is don't take them to pools though.

Adult-only hotels my friend, only way to travel (without losing your mind).

I was in Da Nang last month, the South Korean parent tourists there just don't give a fuck. Between their children running and screaming in the hallways from 6AM and the parents coming home drunk at 3AM, I barely slept.

while i usually try to be charitable to people with young kids, it really irritates me when a kid is screaming, crying, really upset and their parent/s are just completely ignoring it. at least ask them what the matter is, smh

I'm jealous, I want too chill in hotel hottub too :(

Pls sir im sorry, ill get the duct tape

I would have (politely) confronted the parents and then complained to hotel staff if they were asses about it.

Before you judge a parent, you should try being one yourself, then you'll have understanding. I remember being like you.
