People shopping on a Sunday.

[mrsgetonwithit]

Another thread about kids in shops after 8pm got me thinking about this.

When I am out and about on a Sunday [or Bank hols] I am amazed at the amount of people taking their kids shopping on a Sunday.

I work every bank hol and when its a beautiful day there they are dragging their kids around the shops.

Why don't people [some] take their kids to the beach or moors or park anymore.

When I was young every Sunday my dad used to take my bro and I either swimming or fishing or the moors/beach for a few hours on a Sunday morn. My mum stayed home to cook the roast and then we palyed games in the garden or board games indoors after the meal.

This was a family day spent with the family.

So the question is What do you do on a Sunday?

Please don't say they shop on a Sunday because they work all week because shops are open late and on Saturdays.

She is implying that if I have more than three kids I can't handle them and shouldn't have them because I said it was more difficult to give each child individual attention when there is more than one to attend to.

She works on Bank Holidays, every Bank Holiday, and yet she is complaining about people taking their kids out on Bank Holidays to the place which pays her wages?? Double standard?

I live my life in the best way possible and my kids come first, last and always. Just because I may do things slightly differently to the OP does not mean I don't care and never take my kids to the park or the zoo or whatever. (And that is what Mrsgetonwithit says in her original post)

But it's OK for her to work on a Bank Holiday, which is what enables those awful people being there in the first place.

"awful people" should've been in highlight - I mean the terrible wicked parents who take their children shopping on a Sunday afternoon instead of doing worthy things like board games with them

but she is working just like lots of other people ...so many of you have double standards.

As I said I am not new but dont post much hardly ever in fact and this is why.

I shall say it again ''the two of you don't agree''

so what...move on. She has.

and me too.

But she is judging everyone who doesn't live their life according to her self imposed standards.

And is it not just a bit hypocritical to complain about people going out to shops on a Bank Holiday when you work in a shop on a Bank Holiday ?

well those highlights didn't work

ok last one

but on the other thread she was saying 'I believe' that if nobody shopped on a BH she could have the day off..........which goes back to the first post in this thread...

CIRCLES.

NOW NO MORE PLEASE GIVE IT UP AND GO AND DO SOMETHING USEFUL.

But she chose the job.

She knew she'd have to work a bank holiday when she took the job on.

And stop being so patronising.

And why do you think you have the right to "shout" at me.

Weird Goodbyemrschips. I'm relatively new.

But I am not so new that I've only posted today.

Because it is the internet and I have the right to do what i like.

OKAY DID YOU HEAR THAT

nOW i HAVE TO EAT LUNCH

be interested how this continues ha ha

and if she returns

lol @ OP...

my sundays are special family times....erm why on mumsnet then? since you do the big shop on an evening surely you could put yourself out on a sunday and spend the day with the kids?

how about....GET A LIFE OP?

by the way? how do you know so many people do shopping on a sunday if you dont go shopping yourself? surely you should be "making the roast,at the park or playing board games"

As I said, have a with that dearie.

new as not posted much

old as been mooching a long time

x-posts with pinky - that was for goodbyemrschips

I am back. Number one son playing tennis with a pal so don't worry guys.

So some people agree and some don't.

Whoa no suprise there then.

Too many questions to answer but if your happy with your Sundays go for it.

But I know on my death bed I won't be saying ''oh I wish I spent more times at the shops''

Off to join the tennis match.

bye.

Toodlepip mrsgetonwithit

Jolly hockey sticks all round what ho

sockpuppet tennis match. Alone in a bedsit.

haven't read all the posts so might have been asked before but should your son not have done his homework before now so as not to interrupt your perfect day?

how utterly bonkers!

Re: OP.

I'd honestly love my children's dad to take them to the beach or fishing or to the moor every Sunday, whilst I stay at home cooking a roast dinner; but he fucked off some years ago, leaving me to bring up two children on my own with no help and no support.

I work myself into a knackered heap all week to keep my little family together. So sometimes I have to go shopping on a Sunday. Presumably if I leave the kids at home, there will always be someone prepared to accuse me of neglecting them.

And maybe, just maybe, I'm buying them some things they need for school and they need or even want to be there? As I can't afford a car, my daughter sometimes volunteers to help choose and carry all the food for their packed lunches for the week.

I didn't realise I was being judged by a time traveller from the 1960s. I'm just playing the hand of cards I was dealt as best I can.

LineRunner - very well put.

I seem to remember on a different thread, op's 10yr old goes to bed at 7pm, so maybe she needs Sunday to spend time with him -

But she said she does things with him in the evening - how?

By the time I get the meal over and homeworks done it's after 7

Thank you, Itisnotgoingwelltoday. May I buy you a chilled Pinot Grigio?
