When I was a kid and in a surfing/body boarding/skimboarding phase, I always wore a rash guard bc I thought it was cool

I have young (like 7-12) year old cousins who do the same now

Another pedo comment. I find this strange but if that's what a thread about long-sleeve swimwear made you think of then ok.


I mean, you’re a grown man so concerned about little boys wearing shirts at the pool. It’s kinda weird.

I would thing having to reapply sunscreen throughout the day seems excessive.


That's not an unfair statement. I do think this "but muh reapplication" argument is being overstated though. I do appreciate your objective way of viewing this.

It helps that you weren't immediately triggered.

You're starting to tone it down but you're still doing it.

I know, right.

If only there were some way to imagine what it would be like to be a child who wears sunscreen. Or even better, to actually experience such a thing.

He wasn't be sarcastic. You don't have kids. If the goal is for them not to burn, then you have to reapply. The easiest solution is the shirt. The kids like the shirt. So the easy, less excessive method is the one you are bitching about for what reason again?

No shite. My kids like to wrestle and shite in the pool. Sunscreen stays on em about 20 minutes, then I get my arse chewed on when I bring them home all zebra striped up from getting sunburnt. Slap a shirt on em and just try to keep their faces and ears lathered up.

He has no idea.

The real reason for the thread is he thinks it looks nerdy. But he wont say that for whatever reason. Maybe it is because even he knows it sounds dumb to be judging the swimwear of children.

I'm scared to say it looks nerdy? I think it looks ridiculous. I thought that was clear from my initial post.

And how would that help you understand the parents experience?

We don't give a shite that the sunscreen has to be put on. We just don't want to stop our drinking, find the kid, pull them away from who they are playing with, dry them off, get all the sand off of them, reapply to their entire body, make them wait for it to absorb, then send them away again. 4-5 times per day.

All that shite is unnecessary, more time consuming, and not as effective at actually preventing sunburn. So why do it again?

But you have spent 5 pages making such dumb arguments. I used to be you, except I had kids. I wouldnt let them have light up shoes because I thought they were stupid, or ones with velcro. On my third, I gave in to one strap of velcro. I was a stupid motherfricker.

This is pretty flawed thinking. This thread isn't your best work

"You're not a parent. You can't begin to imagine what it's like to put sunscreen - SUNSCREEN - on a child! You have to like turn the bottle upside down, squirt some shite onto your hand and then rub it in. OR even worse, you have to push this little button and it sprays on!"

Dont have to ask you if you have kids , plus 15 minutes of 'is it dry yet' is what hell will be like.

That in no way address his question to you. Your reply to me made zero sense.
