Some people just love to tear others down. it makes them feel good about their own parenting skills. None of us are perfect but each of us know our kids better then anyone and we know when its time to step in and say enough.

From what I’ve read about her, I think Pink is a responsible parent.

I agree with her – it’s a safety issue.

A lot of babies are upset and cry during some lessons. e had to get one of ours out of the pool early a few times as although the pool was warm he was cold to the extent he started going blue. We stated putting rashie suits over his swimmers and bathers after that and he didn’t get cold as quickly. .He also didn’t like his head down in the water at all. He got used of that very slowly. Strange part is now he’d old her prefers the bath water to the on the coolish side

I don’t really see the problem, sometimes the kids start off hesitant, then they are fine, or they are not, but whatever, it is an important skill to learn, to be able to swim.

Seriously? What’s the outrage? Clearly you’ve never taught your child to swim. There are sometimes tears, and sometimes not. Surely learning to swim (and not drown) is the priority.

Oh leave her alone! I am sure she’s a responsible parent.

There is no way Pink would let her child be hurt. He probably wanted to play instead of swim.

Yep, this is life. If you want your children to be able to swim, to keep them safe if they ever fell in a pool etc, this is what we need to do. My son cried every time we took him for about a year!

Swimming lessons are apart of life, yes we dont always do things we enjoy, but these lessons might just one day save ours or someone else life.

water safety is important and we all know babies don’t always like change.

People are annoying. Water safety is so important for them to learn from a young age.

Upset or not He will be better off in the long run knowing how to swim. She would be worse not teaching him and leaving him to fate as to if he drowns in a pool or not. Not sure it has to be put on social media though.

So glad this woman is strong enough to cop the criticism. I just love her, the music, her kids, her attitude to life. I think she’s wonderful

  Totally agree with you, P!NK is no different to most mums who want to teach their kidlets safety in life,to all those criticizing her, we’re not living in the dark ages,a lot of babies start swimming lessons from 6 months old these days,some even earlier,it comes naturally to most,of course there maybe some tears at first,it’s a new venture to little James. like my mum use to always say”if you can’t say something nice,don’t say anything at all” it’s no one else’s business.

he might hate it but he will know what to do of he ever falls in

Lots of kids scream and cry when they first start lessons but most soon get used to it. I would never stop. Good on her for being responsible and making sure her kids can swim.

Living under a magnifying glass must be so hard, there will be always be someone who criticizes. Ignore it Pink and what you think is right.

It is important to get kids swimming early and know what to do if they fall in (how to save themselves). Is anyone curious where they are though? It looks like a giant lake – not the secure pool my child had lessons in with toys and games. Whatever works for you thought.

Must be hard on the mums in the news as others will decide something is wrong. No matter that their own children might had done the same thing or they do not have children of their own.

All these perfect parents who come out judging everyone else when all they should be doing is minding their own business! Poor Pink!! She’s doing the right thing by teaching her child water safety!!
