Yet again I'm roped in to working all weekend but the ones with kids can't possibly god forbid their partner looks after his own children Saturday and Sunday

Someone I know has a baby a year old and is in a two parent household but keeps saying they can’t go for showers even though the dad is there too . Why is it these dopey men can’t look after their own children for half an hour and why choose to have a kid with someone who you don’t trust to do anything with said kid ?

Women at work, she works one weekend shift a week has to get all three of her young kids up either on the Saturday or the Sunday and make sure they've had breakfast and dressed before she comes to work for 8. Because partner wouldn't know where to start then rush back(she finish either 8 or 7.30 but rushes the tit out her work and doesn't do right or the bare minimum) because he's got pigeons and chickens at allotment that need sorting.
 
I'm currently at an adults only hotel. The woman in the room next door keeps face timing, I assume based on her age, grandchildren. No headphones. So I an being subjected to screeching (French kids screech at full volume too it would seem). If I wanted to hear kids hollaring I woukd have booked a different hotel 🙄🙄
 
Last week I saw someone FaceTime a child at a busy event. It was loud and clearly neither could hear each other, the kid was probably about 4/5 so was just staring at the phone while the woman on the other end was talking away unheard. How weird and boring for both parties!

We are also at one, we were in the hot tub on the balcony when the couple next door did the same, her kids not his evidently and she did it every night, we could hear her inside our room too. She got nicknamed Gobby.

Then there were the ‘mums on tour’ who have done the same on the sun beds. And then another couple who did it to their gran kids.

As well as people listening to videos with no headphones. Why is no one private anymore?

Exactly. It's depressing tbh.

That and the martyrdom of I can't go to the bathroom alone and so on. The baby / child won't melt if left safely somewhere for two minutes.
