or more to the point, not having to worry about 1 year olds hurting themselves on his tools because their lazy arse middle class parents cannot get off their lazy arses and occupy them whilst they have the builders in!

I'm not offended, I just put it down to

I'm not sure if you are being unreasonable but you are definitely being judgemental. As a lazy middle class mother myself, I'm offended.

Yes, you are being unreasonable. If working in a house with chldren, tools should be kept at a safe height or in a safe place.

and in her own house to boot - is there no sanctuary

hmmmmm......

Nice for the mother though to think that the workman in her house is sitting in judgement of her parenting skills.

I spend my entire time whenever we have builders/whoever in trying to stop DS talking at them and getting in the way - I am sure it must annoy them even though they always say "no, no, it's fine" every time I drag him away - but he is 4.5 - I would have confined him to the other end of the house at 1!

pixie, it doesn't surprise me. Apparently boy was eating shit out of cat litter tray this am, hmmm, should i say that, it might give it away, she seems the mumsnetting type.

Oh and i only make the lazy middle class comment because this woman is middle class AND lazy, not suggesting that middle class women are lazy, before i get pounced on.
