Seeing polite, well-dressed young men chatting happily in a café

[TheAverageJoanne]

I'm having lunch in a really nice (not naice) coffee house and bistro. The table just next to us had three guys about 19-20 having lunch together. One white, one black, one Asian. All dressed well, one wearing a Sade retro t-shirt. Sade!! Good conversation which we could hear and not a single swear word. I don't know why this makes me really happy but it does.

It's really depressing that a dad behaving normally is public is commended so much! I bet you wouldn't be so admiring if a mum behaved like that

I feel surprised you are surprised. But maybe that's just because my two teenage sons and their friends are all lovely people!

I mean, yes it was a nice moment. But never make the assumption you know anything about their parenting from a public display

My abusive ex was the most attentive partner and parent in public. He loved to perform being the most perfect thoughtful super parent. Then behind closed doors he was screaming and swearing at us all.

Cafcass were fooled by it though. Fooled by his 10 minute performance of being the perfect MC gentle parent. My children ended up both running away from his house.

Because it is not usually the 19-20 year olds who have problems with other skin colours. That is more likely to be people in their 50s and above

Are you going to tell us a joke!
