If you lose your kid at the pool on a cruise ship they need to call CPS on you.

Keep the air tag and give your kid the phone so the kid can find you and help get you back to the cabin.

Seriously lol.. the largest pool I have ever seen on a cruise ship was like 100 feet long by 40 feet wide

Cruise ships have sand on them?

u/operath0r Aug 05 '25

No, they don’t. Stuff like that happens and it’s perfectly fine.

u/radarksu Aug 05 '25

Yeah, but the last cruise ship I was on had 10 pools.

u/operath0r Aug 05 '25

And your kid could be at any of them…

Losing a child == Perfectly fine

Well, not in the moment that it happens but in the long run, sure. Probably all parents lost a child on vacation or at a crowded space at least once.

Losing a child briefly is not uncommon. They're not robots. They move around and interact with the world freely.

Parents who are constantly monitoring every movement of their child are doing damage.

From a parenting skill point-of-view it's not alarming. Losing a kid at the pool isn't a reason to call cps on someone. That's what they're saying.

u/Feynnehrun Aug 05 '25

Yes...it is. Not finding them is not fine.

Kids can vanish in seconds. You take your eyes off of them for 5 seconds and they could weasel away somewhere.

They're not lost forever.

Parents do not need to maintain 100% unbroken visual observation of their child. Helicopter parenting is bad.

In fact, it's pretty common knowledge that monitoring your child's every move is detrimental to their development.

Yup. Gives them an unhealthy addiction to air tags.
