annyvials, I could not have put that better myself

I am the same age as you, and I have noticed exactly the same thing.

You are so right that no one just apologises and admits they are in the wrong, there is always an excuse or reason why the rules somehow do not apply to them, and always an excuse to turn nasty when challenged.

It really is no wonder when the children of people like this turn out to be gobby, foul mouthed lippy little monsters who in their eyes can do no wrong.

All rights but no responsibilities is an increasing trend, but thankfully still in the minority.

Sounds like your children were brought up similar to mine, have fun, but think of others.

We even have a mental dog too!

Jane.

Well I for one certainly wouldn't allow my children to behave badly and not apologise if they'd offended somebody! We both work hard to make sure our boys have a good understanding of whats right and wrong. Don't get me wrong they're not angels and if they're in the wrong they are punished by removal of screen time and an increase on their job lists!!!

I've worked with children and parents for the last 20 years, some good sensible and other quite indulging of their little darlings and totally blinkered to how they behave!

I'm sorry you've had your holiday spoilt, ball games and large groups are my idea of hell and I wouldn't have been happy at all.

We always choose our sites very carefully and never stay on sites now where large groups are allowed (after a hellish shell island trip!)

As to an Adults only site, I did consider it as our two are away leaving OH and myself alone, in the end we've booked a spot on a fairly quiet family site. I've packed ear plugs for night times just in case we have a squeeler close by!

We went for a drink after work and a pleasant hour or two in a pub garden was ruined when 2 couples with 6 little girls and a baby between them turned up. The girls ran around screaming, kept squeezing between us and the beautifully kept flowerbeds in order to hide in the plants, spent ages ripping petals off the flowers and scattering them everywhere, nearly had several people over as they charged through the gate between 2 sections of garden as people were coming the other way with drinks, and finally caused a waitress to drop a burger and chips on the grass.

We both commented that if they'd pitched alongside us at a campsite, we'd go home!

That's one of the problems with this camping lark...You book your pitch...You set off full of anticipation for the coming holiday/w/end break that you wish for.....But never really know what is waiting for you or about to join you at some point at the other end!!!

Sometimes we get what we wish for...Other times it can be a nightmare(As I well know) I have had my share of both...

What I have found over the years is a varying degree amongst us as campers as to what is acceptable on a campsite and what is not...What irks or annoys you...May not necessarily irk or annoy me and vice versa...


I don't really know how to put this any other way and hope some of you understand what I mean when I say that sometimes(not always) a wee "Chill Pill" has to be taken...A wee relaxation of our own wants and needs or expectations of our break away which may have to be put aside slightly for us to enjoy ourselves given what is happening around us...


Or I fear we are heading for a time when our trips away will be full of nothing but confrontation arguments nastiness and running off to the wardens for them to sort it out everytime we go away...

Having said that....I fully understand there is behaviour displayed by neighbours on a site that goes way beyond the expected norm....Which should not be tolerated and needs sorting out...

As I am typing this...I am wondering if there are websites out there where some who have returned from your typical "Party" Holiday resort abroad and have had a nightmare trip go to tell of their experiences good or bad....That would make interesting reading....

Jelboy.

This is why it is so important to leave reviews good and bad, we scan all the reviews prior to going anywhere new, we use both adult only and Park Resorts/Haven sites, we expect noise on the big commercial sites, we expect peace and quiet on adult only sites and we have been pretty lucky so far, again we do rely on the reviews and if you post a poor review I believe the owner has a right to reply.

I agree that some people just have no consideration for others - I find it very frustrating. We've recently come back from Wellington Country Park (have left a review) and the people behind us were drinking, playing loud thumping music till 1am and shouting. This site had no one checking - whereas another site we go to has a strict 11pm no loud noise rule - which is good IMO.
