The kids are playing in the pool and one with a previously shit filled diaper is in the pool. A kid picks up a nugget from the pool and starts wondering what it is. They all get involved with what can it be. Rocks? Leaves? They all start picking up these bottom dwelling debris. One girl picks up a hand full and they now know it’s shit. All the kids run out of the pool. the pool is closed for 45 minutes for clean up. The kids would like to play on the playground equipment. They can’t though, because the kid with the shifty diaper has it all over himself and has moved to playground equipment covering it in feces. Mom is ignoring her shit covered kid, because she’s on holiday. Thanks to this inattentive selfish fiend that won’t watch her kid, the other kids can’t play on the slides swings or in the pool at the campground. I hope she gets food poisoning from E. coili contamination on her vacation.
Who TF is this troglodyte parent and how does she not get kicked out of the pool area within about 10 seconds of this?
Also: the kid’s young enough to crap in the pool and she’s not in there with them? :shudder:
Mommy was there and considered a wet diaper on a kid in a pool good enough. She just ignored the kid. Not kicking them out of the area is not a surprise considering the place this was. This is getting in the area of Wisconsin where a sleeping with the wildlife is probably exceptable if you say you were drunk.
If you’re young enough to be wearing diapers, aren’t you too young to be in a pool by yourself?
Who the hell thinks it’s a good idea, to let a kid with a load in his diapers, share a pool with other kids? Someone needs to have a private and polite talk with this mother about public health.
I’m trying to figure out what my cousin was doing is Wisconsin because this sure sounds like her. She’s one of those people who doesn’t seem to understand that it’s her responsibility to raise her children.
This was a kid that was between 3 and 4. I think laziness on the mother’s part comes into play.
HD, are you still in Milwaukee? I want to avoid that park now.
But I agree with what someone else said. If the kid is young enough to be wearing diapers, Mom should be watching the kid like a hawk. Especially in a pool.
Did the kid go from the pool to the playground on their own? Mom really should have noticed something wrong before they made it over there.
It was way farther north than Milwaukee. Yes the mother is horrible.

Can’t help but think of the scene from Caddyshack. You know which one I’m talking about.

Heard this story second hand as the lifeguard at the local pool shared it with my wife.
There was a mother and toddler in the main swimming pool and the lifeguard told the mom that the child cannot be in the pool if he is not potty trained. The kid was evidently wearing one of those swimming diapers. Mother pitches a fit, says that the swim diapers are leak-proof and so on and then mom says fine along with the typical ‘you want to play it that way?’ routine.
So she takes kid to the locker room brings him back out minus diaper under swim trunks. Naturally the kids proceeds to take a crap in the big pool necessitating the subsequent entire draining and scrub down of the pool and of course having it not available to members wanting to use it for the following day or two.
Never found out the mother’s reaction to her kid crapping in the pool but I would bet she wouldn’t find the least bit of fault with her actions. Sometimes I just don’t get people.
Didn’t the lifeguard notice the same kid back out without the swim diaper? He still let him in?
Harmonious Discord–3 to 4 is still a scary young age to leave a kid alone in a pool. Not to sound like an asshole, but how does this woman still have custody of her kids? Someone in the gun thread (eight year old shooting a 3 year old) asked, “If a small kid drowned in a pool would we have a pit thread about it?” And if the parent basically let it happen–then yeah. This, to me, seems as dangerous as leaving your kid with a gun and then just wandering off.
Why do people in this thread sound like I think the kid should be wearing a diaper in the pool while mommy sits around? Everything about this makes me go what the fuck lady. This is the kind of crap you experience in Bum Fuck North Wisconsin at what tries to pass as campgrounds.
This is 45 minutes from a campground where they set off dynamite in a burning pile of downed trees for the 4th of July one year. That was the year after my first and only visit. Family members went there for that dynamite year. The best thing is nobody even investigated what was happening. Burning tree debris was raining down.
I don’t think you endorsed it. I’m just wondering how anyone observing–a parent, a lifeguard, anyone–could just see a three or four year old little kid alone in a pool and not report this to someone or try to remove them. If I saw a kid that young in a pool, diaper or no, I’d go to a lifeguard and ask why a kid that little is unsupervised. I’d just be terrified of them drowning.
I just had to post the thread because I was irked with this kid and mom.
Now the horrors of the Wisconsin north are flooding back. The dynamite story isn’t at the top of WTF for places I’ve been. The week of horror I had with the tornadoes, old growth forest falling down, and washout floods all while 20 miles from camp ATVing when one of the ATV’s breaks down on the 4th of July is the topper. Only my immediate family who were all there can believe the story. We survived in tact so the adrenaline filled danger was fun, but no sane person would want to be stuck in it.
I don’t really give a shit about the kid now. I’m thinking of this storm and I’m pumped up on adrenaline. Fuck it was fun.

New parent here with no sense of baby etiquette.
The Dudeling is but nine months old. We’ve been working under the assumption that no matter how hot it got, he’s not going anywhere near a pool until he’s fully trained. Clean diaper or not, he goes when he goes so there’s no telling when he’ll get going. Tiddly-pom.
Is that right? Is letting a baby (supervised, blah blah) into a pool not such an outrageous thing? Are there special diapers for that? Just regular diapers? Commando?
Or should we just stick to beaches and large tubs of water in the back yard?
And after reading the thread title and getting the subject, did anyone else hear say in a singsong voice:
Pass the doodie on de left hand side…
Threads like this frighten me.
Nonononono!
Dammit! Why? Why did you have to go and get that stupid, stupid song stuck in my head??? :mad:
Whoa, WTF?!
I’d seen Huggies Little Swimmers on the shelves, but I thought they were cute euphemisms for clothes that you bought for kids who pissed a lot. You know, “little swimmers.”
That Web page implies that we can slap one on him and the pool is protected. Really?
This is the funniest thing I’ve read all morning! 
Greatest misinterpretation ever.
Kids will poop in pools. The pisser on this was that lady knew everybody was kicked out and then let her son go to the playground and cover the slide and swings in poop. It should have went kid gets poop in pool. Pool is closed. Mom takes kid to get cleaned and changed. The other kids slide and swing.
