I live in a military town; and my apartment complex is pretty close to base. As a result of this, my complex is 90% young singles or young families. I 25f work as a nurse, and live alone at my apartment complex. I get stuck inside so much at work, so I cherish my outside time. I like to sit on the loungers by my apartment pool and read books.

A few weeks ago I was reading by the pool and some asshole kid with a water gun came up to me and sprayed my book beyond repair. The mom was apologetic but didn’t offer to replace my book, and I immediately went to the office and reported them. The family got a one month ban from using the pool for breaking its rules, and the mom was furious with me. The pool has a really extensive usage agreement that everyone has to sign, detailing behavior not allowed, mostly due to bad kids and a creepy guy that used to live here That’s a whole nother story.

Anyways, I asked the office lady if there were any hours where kids weren’t allowed, or if they would ever consider making adult only pool days. I was honestly exhausted because there are so many badly behaved kids at the apartment pool. Most of these dependapotamases suck at disciplining their kids where I live. But maybe it’s just gen z in general tbh. I would probably suck at parenting which is why I don’t have kids, I’m too soft and don’t like telling anyone what to do.

She said it was a good suggestion, and if I started a petition the owner of the complex would probably approve.

Well I did. And it got 150 signatures. I posted it on the door to the mailroom. It was approved that no children are allowed on Sundays. So many women are complaining on the complexes Facebook page about it. But I’ve been this past Sunday and y’all, it was so peaceful. No screaming kids, no water guns, no crying, and I could even get in the pool. I don’t think one day out of seven days a week is super unreasonable, and a ton of other people agreed.

AITAH?
