I really enjoyed reading your adventures, it was detailed and informative.
I agree with you regarding the babysitting at the Dynasty or for that matter in any hotel. Dynasty always had a good reputation, thank god for a mother's gut feelings as they are always right. I did the same many years ago as you and complained bitterly over what is babysitting in their eyes.
When my children were younger and we went to Bali we used to stay at The Patra although mine were a little older 8 & 11 and could swim well, I decided to use the kids club, when I came back after 2 hours I found them in the big pool with no supervision, you could say my reaction was similiar to yours. I never left them alone again. We were a family group, we decided one adult to stay with the kids and had turns looking after them.
It's difficult for parents, we all want a break even if it's for a short time of a couple of hours on holidays or at home but its never to be.
Your time will come however as a loyal parent we never stop wiping their noses, no matter their age.
Thank you for your report.
Kind Regards
Hilton
