My son has told his friends that I am suffering with stress at the moment, bad anxiety and I've now got my back garden with three 14 year old boys in it who are doing my garden and tidying my shed.
I've always tried to be good to them as they were growing up and now they're being so good to me.
Our young people get so much bad press but most are just good kids. Bless 'em.
I think most people who actually have anything to do with young people (which I hope is most people, IYSWIM) are quite fond of them, really... but it's still good seeing nice posts and reminders like this.
Agree Mitmoo. I am as guilty as anyone of seeing the bad and bloody annoying in DS but often pretty slow to praise the good . But he has made me hugely proud.
hobnob the bad an annoying are in your face, the good are generally more passive, it's easy to follow the "Yuff of today a fugs" line so I thought it would be nice to praise our young people. My family young and old have done a lot of fundraising and the youngters are as enthusiastic as the "fogies" 2shoes perhaps we should all share to counter the negative press the "yuff" get.
Wow how lovely. And it is nice to hear about some of the good things people do in the world, rather than the constant complaints - so I'm appreciative of such a nice OP
I am really pleased to hear such positive reaction to my post. One of them has left now but he's offered to take my Avon books with him to give to his Nan aunts and friends of his mum.
The little gits have put a proper lump in my throat.
. But he has made me hugely proud.
