You had every right to be at the family pool.

Family pools are for families with children and they are loud and splash-don't ruin it for them just because you're old and grumpy..

We who were not there can only voice an OPINION. FOUR GRANDKIDS I expect grandma is far more tolerant of them than people not related to them.

Yeah but the Adult Pool may be a quarter mile further than the family pool. Do you expect them to drive that incredibly long distance? Especially with the gas prices now!

I fully endorse this response! No really , if you want the little ones to learn how to deal with conflict just let them watch what your response is . It’s a real world out there people and these kids need to learn early

Exactly.

On some days I "shop around" for a pool with only a few people. Just drive down Canal Street, there are 5 pools in a 1 mile distance.

Sure, keep two at the pool, with grandma and leave the other 2 home alone. Or drop off 2 at the pool, and grandma stays at home with the other 2. Which ever works for you, and makes your day better. (Insert Sheldon Sign).

Guessing you might be the same as the person angry that KIDS were at the FAMILY POOL. 2 options sit at adult pool, or the one in your backyard, t o avoid any contact with children no matter how many.

You make it sound as if you were wronged, now i would like to hear the other side of that story.

[Luggage]

To the poster who had the problem with the lady with the radio, I would have gone over to her picked up her radio said how nice it was and then accidentally thrown it in the pool .

Sorry this happen to you. Let the kids have fun. Grumpy old folks…..I honestly can imagine beeping so cracking at kids in a pool.
Enjoy your visit with the little ones
