Toddlers eating greggs?
Fat people eating macdonalds?
P&C parking?
Fat people eating?
Disabled loos?
Fat people?

My own personal judgement is reserved for those people who hold their knife like a pen.

I would be really upset if either DS had them Nom. Sad Don't think either of them would want them TBH.

Women who are proud to be unable to do things like changing a lightbulb, removing a spider or making a piece of flat packed furniture. get a grip, you do not need a penis to do these things.

I usually use a screwdriver or allen key.

I love Sparkling Cat to bits Maryz I really do, but saving her over a real life child? Well no. Sad

Although quite what we are hypothetically saving them from I don't know and SC is v selfish so would save herself probably.

Really? I used to give my dc the choice about having snack time or not, as did many parents. Why would I make my child sit and eat a biscuit they don't want to

I would say, yes really! Snack time doesn't always mean biscuits, it is often a yoghurt or piece of fruit, and once your little darlings are at school they will need to conform to times and will need to sit and do everything that all the other children are doing. They are not force-fed their snack - they don't have to eat it if they choose not to. But they have to sit with all the other children, because they sometimes have to do things they don't want to. And if you don't want your sweetie little child to sit with all the other children, then don't send them to nursery or school. Make alternative arrangements for them, so they can just ride roughshod over the whole of life, and never have to do anything they don't want to. In a whole new world of no rules and non-conformation. Lovely [smile

The toddlers near me was always biscuits for a snack Evans DC are now 9 and 7 and perfectly capable of sitting and whatever when they have to. Despite the fact that I didn't make them partake in snack time. Of.course if I'd been told they had to join in then I'd have made them, but I always assumed it was optional.

IneedAwittierNickname · 15/04/2014 17:34

Should add I accept that not all toddler groups are the same, but none of the ones I went to ever had compulsory snacktime

SoleSource · 15/04/2014 17:35

I judge the judgers on this thread, very harshly.

Alisvolatpropiis · 15/04/2014 17:36

Maryz

I agree re saving animals over humans. Except if human in hypothetical situation was a muderer, rapist or child abuser because hypothetically you could be in that situation.

Generally speaking though, no. I'd assume my cats would have fucked off at the first available opportunity without a backward glance and the would be at my heels or at my dp's. So the only things to save would be other people.

But surely they weren't force-fed their biscuits Ineed. How popular were you in the toddler group for allowing your children to continue to play when the playgroup leaders were trying to teach them how to sit and behave? Your toddler may not have needed a biscuit, but he/she may have enjoyed the drink (this is usually offered at the same time). You assumed it was optional - did you actually check or were the toddler group leaders too afraid of you to question your motives? Further along the morning, was your little toddler complaining of hunger in his/her tummy, when snack time was all over and done with?

Your children may now be able to sit and behave nicely, but did the teachers have to work harder because they were discouraged from behaving more nicely at toddler group? Just asking.

Ev1lEdna · 15/04/2014 17:45

Surely if you judge the judgers then you too are a judger of the highest order?

Yes Grin I owned up to that though.

EvansOvalPiesYumYum · 15/04/2014 17:46

Okay - sorry Ineed - crossed posts. You didn't go to the toddler groups that had compulsory rules.

I said in my original post that I wasn't the only mum whose child didn't have the snack Evans so umm, no doubt anyone gave a shit. The leaders used to clap their hands and shout "snacks if anyone wants them" (which implies you don't have too).
And no, they've always been commended on their behaviour at nursery/school. If the teachers had to work any harder they certainly never said so.
I guess the 3 times a day, 7 days a week that they had to sit at the table for dinner + how ever often they had to do other stuff whether they wanted to or not had more of an affect on them than the 2 or occasionally 3 times a week they were at toddlers.

IneedAwittierNickname · 15/04/2014 17:49

Cross posted with your last post Evans

Exactly MrsDV even at nursery (pre school) snack time wasn't compulsory

EvansOvalPiesYumYum · 15/04/2014 17:50

Did I already say sorry for crossed post? Oh, yes, I think I did

EvansOvalPiesYumYum · 15/04/2014 17:51

Crosses everywhere Grin
