I know my chubsters only 5months (and 3 days lol), but after a few months of observing the behaviour of older kids, I just hope that my boy will grow up to be better behaved than alot of kids I see around. Sad Some boys today in the park, well I won't go in to it but, I would of been horrified if my one grew up to be as disrectful as that?
Am I wrong in thinking its time for a change and that all new mummies should take a pledge to bring up polite and caring kids as a kickback to this rude genneration that we have before us at the mo?

If the Jack Russell was better behaved than the kids then there's every reason to forgive him being in the play area. Maybe he could have taught them how to sit and stay.

Jack Russels are renowned for being a terrible influence on children and I believe it is illegal for children under the age of 18 to be out in public with one

Sorry Brian
I think it's the misuse of apostrophes is distracting me.

Could we add it to the pledge?
"I promise not to put in random apostrophes whenever a word ends in the letter s".

Is childreering the same as orienteering but with buggies?

MildredIsMyAlterEgo · 26/06/2012 22:52

Another for the pledge:

I promise not to play that Alberqurkey song on a loop all day long, making the hotdawg seller go all intense
