A mother hired a certified lifeguard for her daughter's pool party and faced some criticism, stating it was dramatic and unnecessary. She believes that having an authority figure like the lifeguard encourages the children to listen better regarding safety. Many supportive comments on TikTok highlight that having a lifeguard provides a safety net for kids, acknowledging that in groups, the perception of everyone watching can lead to carelessness. The mom emphasizes the importance of safety, especially at events for young children.
I hired a certified lifeguard for my daughter's 6th birthday party and I had a couple of comments about it that I was honestly surprised to get.
If everybody is watching, it means nobody is watching. A lot of people said that it was too much, extra, dramatic, wasn't necessary.
If I'm like, 'Hey, stop messing around ... stop trying to drown your sister,' it's going to fall on deaf ears, but if a lifeguard blows a whistle...they're listening every time.
In groups, people think, 'Everyone is watching' and it makes people careless.
