Went to a farm with almost 2yr old dd and it was full of parents, mostly mums, sat around yakking away, no interest in what their child was doing and no supervision either.
My dd was smacked in the face twice by a boy the same age as her. Now I know children of that age do smack when they get frustrated (he wanted the coupe car she was in) so I'm not criticising his behavior but his parents were no where to be seen so I had to tell him to stop as it wasn't nice.
Then there were two twin girls aged about 7 running wild in the under fives play area whilst their mum sat next to the play area and ignored them. When one of them bashed into dd and knocked her over I told her she shouldnt be in there and they both left.
But why don't parents think its their job to look after their children? AIBU to think they should stop bloody socialising and try parenting?
