Parents

Re: Parents

What really pisses me off is going down to the doctors surgery for an appointment

A parent or parents with a kid or couple of kids running around screaming like we all know kids can .....and it's really annoying I am sure we can agree

A decent parent lays the law down in a good way to that kid , gives them attention , praises them and things generally calm down , everyone's happy

But so often the parent does nothing or sits there on their mobile bloody phones

I sometimes wonder why some people become parents if they can't bring them up

Re: Parents

Everyone has different values and views on this, plenty of divorces to back it up too….
It’s a fine balance between spoiling, doing stuff for them and letting them learn how to do stuff themselves. Never judge anyone’s parenting ways….personally I love it and have time to give them but many don’t and have many stresses.

Re: Parents

I have two, 30 & 40 respectively and couldn't be any prouder of the pair of them. Working away for periods when they they born, very young, their mother is the one who steered them into who they are, I'll duck the nub of your point, there are so many reasons IMO why some parenting isn't what it could be but the only reason I'd put my opinion to, is that the nuclear family has been deliberately destroyed. (It's political and I'm not going there).

I'm not perfect. Lived far from a clean life, but one thing I can always say is the kid has always come first.

I just think it is so easy, it's got to be easier to put the effort in as you're more likely to get a "good kid" who will in turn be easier to parent..I think by being lazy it creates a situation where the kid may not behave how people want which in turn makes it harder to parent.

I just can't get my head around people not wanting to make the effort.

I have also worked away, difficult with weekends as well, but fair play to you 👍

If you have children it's your responsibility to do your best to be a good parent

It's a job I couldn't do and I am glad I don't have kids

Re: Parents

I didn't even have to read your post once I saw your name to know it was going to be negative 👍

Don't you think the person to judge whether you are a good parent isn't you it's your child.
Like every other comment you ever make on here it is full of self-righteousness .
You and your ilk have made this message board full of shite.

Re: Parents

This is one of the biggest give yourself a pat on the back threads I've ever read.

There's nothing wrong with giving yourself a oat on the back occasionally. In fact, it's probably good for your mental health.

No doubt that it does happen, but you could also consider that the kid's behaviour might be down to autism and inability to cope with certain situations. That trip to the GP could be the first time the parent feels brave enough to consider that possibility, so there's potentially 2 sides to every story.

I hate kids, they are horrible little things.

I thought you were still calling them classmates? They being nasty again?

Re: Parents

Parenting can be difficult, and sometimes you have to take the lazy option if you want an easier life. My Boy was ****ing nuts when he was small, sure it was ADHD or something similar, anyway, i used to sit him in the foot well of the passenger seat in the car and throw Haribo sweets at him to keep him quiet. I've always prided myself on finding a solution.

You still not forgiven me for having the opinion that factory jobs are shit?

Every one I've ever had were utter crap, crap pay, crap conditions, crap work etc etc.

I suppose if it's all you can get it's what you've got to put up with, but just like parenting I found a solution 👍

That self righteous enough for you 😴

I'd pay double to go to an adults only surgery.

You can tell sludge hasn’t got kids….you try taking a 2 or 3 year old to the doctors with a temperature or something. I had to wait almost an hour once, kept him still and settled for the first 30/40 but after that just gave up, let him run about in the hope it might hurry them up which it appeared to magically do. Just aswell, had to take him to a&e to spend the night on oxygen and inhalers…..

Can we have a separate one for oldies too? Now that would save us all who rarely go countless wasted hours.
