Anyone else please find this rather odd and inappropriate.

Friend of mine posted a remark on facebook saying her 3 year old daughter was in a hot tub with 6 males. People were posting remarks and asking for pics etc.

So she posted a pic of 6 males (none of which were her family) all age d over 21 with drinks and bottles in their hand in the hot tub with her 3 year old daughter in it (I am guessing she didnt have suitable attire on as could see she didnt have any top on).

I was totally gobsmacked and several friends in work who also seen it were shocked too. Is this appropriate behaviour. or am i being over cautious.

I think its only in appropriate if the men had had several drinks and were affected by the alcohol simply because small children shouldn't be around water without adequate supervision purely for safety reasons.

I don't know what you class as "suitable attire" or why a three year old should be expected to wear a top ! She's a toddler FGS.

Its so sad that people think that every male is a potential child abuser and that its somehow in appropriate when a bloke shows an interest in a young child - lets face it most are on the same level mentally as a three year old and they are simply having fun !!!

OP, you're the reason my OH feels uncomfortable around other people's children. :mad:

i don't think we have the whole story and i feel that there is an issue between OP and this woman. some of the OP's comments are a bit b***hy and I wonder would she have been so quick to make all this fuss if it was a close personal friend of hers.

Ours doesn't. It's just like a big inflatable pool which is heated, has blowers and a cover to keep it at a perfect 35 degrees.

I wish I had a hot tub!

Children shouldn't be in hot tubs due to the water temperature.

I don't like the idea of a young child being around people drinking tbh kids round water with drunk people is even worse.

Well I must be over cautious and strange then cause myself and 4 other female colleagues at work all agreed it was not right to see such a pic posted on facebook for all to see.

Maybe it is what you and your colleagues associate with a hot tub that is the problem. There's a few things that come to mind when you think hot tub:

Steamy sensual 'fun' wink wink
Group of drunken farts splashing around like whales
Kids pretending to be mermaids or fishing for treasure etc etc

I'm sure the 6 'random' men would be mortified if people with looking at that photo with 'those' thoughts. Can people not take an innocent photo without there being an issue?

Your making the issue out of nothing, and if I was the mum, I would seriously consider making your life a misery for insinuating what you are insinuating.

I don't like the idea of children around drunkeness, certainly, and defer to the greater knowledge and good points raised about the danger of hot tubs. I'd even say the mother's comment, if as quoted, was in poor taste and not desirable attitude.

BUT the points about being in appropriately dressed and with six men at a party at home to be are 'dangerously' alarmist, making this a less and less safe, comfortable place in which to have children at all.

I'd also like to say that its possible for some to be drinking but not 'drunk'. Thousands of us manage it at parties and at home to drink moderately.

Not a situation my daughter would ever take part in have to say.
