I was gobsmacked when my friend got dress-coded at the pool for wearing a BIKINI by a woman in the same outfit
WHEN the summer is as hot as it has been, it's normal to want to cool down in the pool. For women, that often means sporting a bikini while relaxing by the pool. 2 But it seems not everyone is a fan of the two-piece as two friends were left gobsmacked after being dress-coded for their bikinis. Ashleigh managed to film part of the incident which saw a woman shout at the pair for being 'inappropriate'. The woman told the ladies they wouldn't be coming back to the pool and went on to call the cops, according to Ashleigh. While the woman was aggravated by their outfits, it came as a shock to the girls as she was also wearing a bikini. Ashleigh's friend even went to get shorts to try and defuse the situation but it was too late. The woman had called the cops who arrived to the community pool to see what was going on. Despite the woman's fury, nothing was done. "My friend was wearing a bikini and this 'Karen' decided to call the cops to try and escort us out," Ashleigh said. "The cop told us if she didn't like her bathing suit she could leave!" After Ashleigh and her friend stayed in the pool, and were able to laugh the situation off. I only have one dress to wear to my grandad's funeral but worry it's too booby - trolls agree & say I'm 'disrespectful' The clip has gone viral on her TikTok account @ its_ashelizabeth with over 19 million views and 962k likes. People were quick to take to the comments to share their thoughts. One person wrote: "The lady in the bikini called the cops on someone for wearing a bikini?" Another commented: "Is there a dress code for the community pool? Sometimes there is." "I'm assuming it was inappropriate just for the fact that the lady that's bothered by it is in a bikini as well," penned a third.

Here's Why You Need a Slow Summer—According to Parents and Travel Experts
Imagine a summer where instead of rushing from camp to sports to road trips, you and your family prioritize simple pleasures—like family dinners, backyard games, reading, or lazy afternoons at the pool. This is the essence of slow summers. A more relaxed, less scheduled approach to the summer season, where families intentionally take a break from packed calendars, constant activities, and digital distractions. It's about savoring the summer, not just surviving it, and reminding yourself that you don't only have 18 summers with your kiddos. Audrey Schoen, LMFT, says that parents should give their kids that slow, '90s summer that we all remember. 'It's so much less stressful. Kids will remember how you are and what it was like to be with you more than anything you do with them or how fancy your vacations were. If you're overwhelmed, stressed, and irritable trying to make memories, you're focused on the wrong memories.' She says that by allowing yourself to slow down and just be present to the simple things, the focus is on the relationships. 'There is time and space to interact without an agenda or a schedule. This takes the pressure off by not having to worry about packing, traveling, or the expectation of creating a certain experience.' 'I would recommend scheduling time in,' Schoen says. 'Time at home, at a local park, or a community pool. Buy a water slide and a kiddie pool. Get a bunch of water guns and have battles. Make dinner a daily event. Nothing complicated, but something the whole family can do together. Get out in the backyard and turn on the grill while your kids play lawn games. Plan a day at a local lake with a potluck picnic and some family friends, with nothing more than your lawn chairs and some good food.' She would also suggest limiting screen time, not just for kids, but for adults as well. 'You can create schedules for screen use times, and use it wisely as needed for your sanity. But otherwise, put the devices down and let yourself be bored. Boredom is the birthplace of creativity and full presence. Limit big outings and travel to just a few trips.' Parents spoke to four families about how they're planning to implement a slow summer. During the Christmas break last year, Marianne Fransius, CEO of Bébé Voyage, took her 4 and 11-year-old kids on a very ambitious trip. They visited Argentina, Brazil, and Bolivia, and her husband and her parents joined them halfway through. The issue was that they went to too many places and were changing accommodations too often—the thought of doing a multi-destination trip again just seems exhausting, especially since they're moving to Belgium in August. She and her family are planning on packing up, sending their container in early June, and then, when school gets out, they will head to their country house to enjoy a slow summer. 'Maybe I'll put the little one in the local day camp for a couple weeks,' Fransius says. 'The older one is doing 12 days of off-grid hiking and camping. But besides that, we have nothing planned.' Her kids are eager to play in the lake, pick berries, and organize badminton tournaments. 'Presumably, the grandparents will come visit,' she continues. 'Maybe we'll have a couple friends over. Some new neighbors will be moving into our hamlet, which we'll get to know. Otherwise, it's going to be over a month of bike rides, farmer's markets, and swimming in the lake.' With seven children, Chad McAuliff, Financial Planner and Founder of Royal Stone Wealth Management, says that summer is always exciting and his family loves to go with the flow. 'We love having a flexible schedule and not letting our calendar control our days,' he explains. 'Plenty of outdoor time, we find places with discounts, coupons, or free to the public. Most activities we do throughout the summer are at home. Sleeping in for those that want to. Breakfast outside on many days.' He says that activities his kids will do include swimming, sandbox, games, rollerblading, bikes, tree swings, hammocking, gardening, water activities, and more. His intention is to spend less money, but spend more time together. For him, a slow summer simply means lazy days and not being busy, just enjoying the summer. "A slow summer can also mean saying no to many things and scheduling what you want instead. We say no to many things and then plan out our summer the way we want it. It could be a week of minimal activities. Or it could be we take a few days and go waterfall jumping. Or we invite friends and their kids over for a kickball game. It could be we all pick out a book and read outside in different places, like the fort, or tree swing, or lawn chair, or hammock, or back porch,' McAuliff describes. Monica Virga Alborno, engineer and founder of Wanderwild Family Retreats, has two children, 4 and under. They'll be spending their summer in New Jersey, New York, and Norway, but taking a mindful approach to travel. 'To make it happen, I have to be committed to saying no to invitations that put too much on our plate and allow our plans to have space for no agenda.' She and her family will be getting back to the basics—spending sun-soaked days exploring local lakes and hiking trails, and evenings under the stars camping outside in the backyard. She acknowledges that swapping packed schedules for more room in the margins will allow her family to have meaningful conversations, get curious, and allow them space to just observe. 'When my kids are grown, and choose to spend time with me because of our connection, that's my ultimate parenting goal, I believe slow summers will guide us to that.' Brittany Lewis, a PR professional, has a toddler who is three and a six-month-old baby, and they're having a slow summer this year. 'It's my goal every summer. We live in Milwaukee and love taking advantage of the beach, local pools, parks, farmers markets, etc.' She's doing this in a few ways, including leaving multiple weekends free of any obligations. 'Summer weekends tend to fill up so fast, but then summer flies by and it feels so busy, so I am keeping some weekends open for us to be intentionally slower so we can go on walks, garden, read, etc.' Lewis also plans to delete all social media for the summer and use an old-school digital camera to take pictures. 'I obviously love capturing all the amazing summer moments, but then I'm always pulling out my phone, and even if I'm on it for just a few seconds, it feels distracting and pulls me away from the present moment. So, I'm going to delete all of my social media for the summer so I'm not tempted to scroll after snapping a pic. I'm going to be leaving my phone in my beach bag, car, or purse wherever we go.' She also says she'll be prepping easy to-go meals every morning to pack in her family's picnic basket so that if they're having fun at a park or the beach, or the pool, they don't need to rush home to cook any meals. Lastly, she won't be signing her toddler up for any scheduled activities in the summer. He's only three and she doesn't want to be stuck to a schedule or have an obligated sport or activity they need to go to. 'What I love about having a toddler is how much they teach us to slow down–to notice the flowers blooming, to notice if the sky is gray or blue, and so on. I think it is good for all of us to do that—to take the time to notice the little things, to not feel rushed, to play uninterrupted, and I think you can do that more when you aren't rushing from one event to the next,' Lewis acknowledges.
