Like holy fuck do you not hear your kid screaming? Do you not have consideration for other fucking people? Or are you just so fucking useless you have zero ability to parent your child? I'm assuming the latter.

Fuck people.

I'm chilling in a hotel hottub, and there's a kid in the pool just screaming, fucking just screaming on and off at the top of their lungs, the sound just echoing off all the tile, it's fucking horrible, holy fuck.

Ughh, just really needed to vent that. Thank you. And fucking thank god they just left.

Fuck I'm greatful I don't have kids.

-edit-

New group of kids started floating around the hot tub bumping into me ๐Ÿ˜‘ Asked them to stop, and then had to speak to their parents about it.

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.

Even before having children, I've always had the unfortunate (for others) ability to tune out noise. I definitely don't assume my kids screaming is not a big deal, I literally don't realize it's even happening.

Fortunately, my wife doesn't have this issue, so she'll usually get me to intervene quickly enough that we (hopefully) aren't causing trouble for others.
