For small groups? 30 people (over 8 of whom are children) in a residential pool sounds absolutely gross even if it's not my pool and I'm not cleaning it.

At that point it's an open sky toilet.

The story mentions one in diapers but the other part speaks about kids far more active (so older) than toddlers.

You may not have kids, so just to let you know: they usually don't just piss in pools anymore as soon as they're out of diapers which usually is at 2 or 3 years old.

Bruh, adults still piss in pools.

[–] RecluseRamble@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Some maybe do so in public pools. But if your adult guests piss in your pool, you should rethink your guest list.

I mean my house isn’t designed for 30 people and 10 children, but that doesn’t mean I shouldn’t put my panties on and clean the house before an after a get together to build relationships.

Hm, didn't know my comment mentioned that I wouldn't clean my house before a party. It's almost as if you're trying to imply I said something I didn't so that my comment appears unreasonable.

I will say it again: 30 people in a residential pool (described as small in the post) is disgusting. It has nothing to do with the house, the backyard, the barbecue, the pets, the grass, the carpet, etc. It has nothing to do with anything except the pool and its capacity.

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 21 points 4 months ago

Right? To each their own, but if I had a pool, I'd be inviting friends and family over to enjoy it all the time. I bet those kids had a blast and made some fun memories.

Tbh, I think I get it. Some people really get off on maintaining something in pristine condition. This is like an extremely expensive Bonsai tree or rock garden.

Same reason my wife wants at least 80m² of living space despite spending her time sitting on the corner of one chair looking at her phone : it feels nice to know you have it.

[–] MethodicalSpark@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

80m² = 860ft² for those of us in countries who perpetuate inferior measurement systems.

860ft² is extremely small compared to the average American home of 2,480ft².

Oh yeah, for reference it's a moderately sized flat for a family of four in a French city.
My dad has more of a country house with the huge park and trees and small lake... and still she only really needs her phone and a chair. Go figure.
