Who owns a pool?

we had one when i was kid and it was a money pit.
just rough numbering here but 10 grand to put it in plus maintenance costs
after 10 years my parents removed the pool because nobody used it. In the summer all 5 kids had jobs and nobody was home to use it. Someone may have used it once a week. Got to the point it didnt make sense.

now i have my 7 year old daughter and i buy the walmart inflatable pool types. We now have the biggest one you can buy and she hardly uses it. Open it july 1. Every other weekend she is gone in the summer to her moms and two weeks of the summer she is gone to her moms as well. so a total of 8 weeks in the summer
two are gone
we are now down to six weeks.
Last couple years august has been too cool and she does not want to swim in the cold water so now we are down to less then 4 weeks of useage. She does swimming lessons for a week in the summer and gets tired of swimming.
down to 3 weeks.

so i can say we may use the pool for 3 weeks out of the whole summer vacation.
