......as clearly all my friends are pedophiles and axe murderers according to the government and unless I pay to get them all vetted by the nanny state I will soon be breaking the law to ask my friend to pick DS2 up from school the one day a week I go to take my disabled mother out.
I shall give DS2 a key and tell him to walk home alone across 2 main roads, (better get him a reflective vest as dark nights are coming) and when he get in I shall tell him to cook the dinner and sweep the chimney!!!!!!

[DISCLAIMER PLEASE NOTE I HAVE NO SUCH INTENTION I AM JUST FED UP WITH THE WHOLE NANNY STATE]

If he doesn't do a good enough job make him do it with his bare hands - in the chimney!

If your DS is going to be home alone at 9, has he been CRB checked? Goodness knows what he could do to himself?

KimiTheThreadSlayingAxeKiller · 05/10/2009 07:13

Very good point, should I get the house CRB checked too?

HowlingAtTheMoon · 05/10/2009 09:28

Don't you have a dog? Have you had him CRB checked?

TheLadyEvenstar · 05/10/2009 09:52

Mermaidspam · 05/10/2009 09:58

ErikaMaye · 05/10/2009 10:43

What about the house itself? Have you had that CRB checked?
