A CHILD-FREE woman has divided opinion after asking a family in the hotel room next door to stop their kids “crying all the time”.
Christie took to TikTok to explain that she’d been on her sunshine break for two days, but the vacation was being somewhat ruined by the noise coming from the neighbouring room.
“I’ve been at this hotel for two days, and this s**t has been happening all day,” she said, with the noise clearly heard in the background of the video.
“This family, I hate them so much.”
Growing tired of the constant row, Christie then decided to lean out over her balcony to talk to the parents next door.
“Guys, can you just be a little bit quieter?” she said.

“I want you guys to have fun, but just the kids crying all the time.”
While their response couldn’t quite be heard on the video, Christie could then be heard saying: “Thanks, appreciate it.”
Her plea didn’t last long though, as “two minutes later” the noise was back.
“They don’t give a f**k,” she sighed, rolling her eyes.
“POV: asking a family to STFU (shut the f**k up),” she wrote over the top of the video.
And she added in the caption: “As a recovering conflict avoidant people pleaser, this was exhilarating.”
However, the majority of people in the comments section weren’t too impressed with Christie’s stance on the holiday noise.
“If you don’t want to hear kids on a vacation go to a kids free resort,” one wrote.
“The parents are doing their best!”
“As a mum with kids. they are doing everything they can,” another insisted.
“The parents feel bad, they can’t control their kids emotions.
“Give them a break.”
Tips for a stress-free holiday with kids
PARENTS have been told the three ways in which they can make family holidays with kids so much easier.
Three experts have weighed in with their advice on what to do in order to make your getaways as stress-free as possible.
Family holidays are always exciting but having kids of a certain age can mean that things are more difficult than they need to be.
Thanks to Travel Weekly, here are three ways that those with young toddlers can have the best holiday possible.
Clarisse Chapolard, who is responsible for overseeing and caring for Club Med’s customers, says that booking off-peak flights ensures a quieter plane and airport – providing a more comfortable experience.
“Staff will generally be more available to help too,” she adds. “Flights can be the biggest headache with small children, so travel short-haul where possible.”
Clarisse also recommends making sure there are activities nearby to your accommodation to keep toddlers happy.
Having a child-friendly hotel can make the world of difference to your family holiday, especially when parents are looking for some time to themselves.
Founder and chief executive of Martinhal Resorts, Chitra Stern, said: “Accommodation needs to be child-friendly and safe, but also stylish and comfortable for parents.”
Finding somewhere with bed protectors, stair gates, steps in the bathrooms and furniture with round edges will prevent any unnecessary injuries or accidents.
Alan Cross, director of travel agent relationships for Jet2holidays, has recommended parents to look at package holidays for peace of mind, ease and assurance.
“Families with toddlers may appreciate dedicated facilities like kids’ clubs, children’s pools, creches, playgrounds, cots and highchairs,” he said.
Package deals can also include free child places, single-parent deals and discount codes, catering for more than a standard family of four.
“Ooozing ENTITLEMENT!!!” a third commented.
“I’m not a parent but if I want quiet I pay for privacy and secluded spaces!!”
“How rude are you?” someone else said.
“Speak to management and move.”
“Maybe the child has additional needs? Be kind,” another wrote.
But there were also those in the comments who sided with Christie.
“My parents would NEVER let us behave like that in public,” one wrote.
“That’s crazy at a hotel!”
“No no.. the comments are not passing the vibe check,” another added.
“As a parent, my child is taught to be considerate of others and this is not it.. there’s moments yes, but she’d be distracted or taken indoors.”
“As a parent of 2 this annoyed me,” a third commented.
“Yeah kids can cry and have emotions.
“But listening to that all day would be frustrating.”
“Call the front desk, that’s awful,” someone else urged.
