That don't belive in any form of discipline?

There is a child who ds(4) goes to a football club with who is just the most vile little boy I have ever met.
Disrespectful to his mum, friends, any other adults he feels like and his mum does nothing.
The boy is 4-5 he calls my ds(and all the other children there) nasty names he kicked ds off a climing frame and when I said to him 'that wasn't kind was it?' he just screamed in my face.
Now I don't expect his mum to smack him but I do think he needs to be pulled up about things my ds is no angel but if he is rude or nasty he will be pulled up about it and made to apologize right away.
No if it was a one off then fair enough but this is happening week in week out and she just seem's to think it is fine.
So aibu to think that parents should take responsability for there dc's actions and not let them ruin things for everyone else?

can someone please clarify if parents who "should take responsability for there" should not take responsibility for anywhere else?

mrsbean78 · 23/11/2009 17:52

And again, another silly and immature comment about the spelling and grammar of the original post. Disgusting.

DarrellRivers · 23/11/2009 17:56

But it's the 'horriable' twice that does it
Once could be ignored, twice just draws attention to it
It's the elephant in the room

MintyCane · 23/11/2009 17:59

But it can't be the elephant in the room if people keep pointing at it and shouting "There is an elephant in the room" that is the point surely.

Hullygully · 23/11/2009 18:02

Immature. I love that word.

mummygirl · 23/11/2009 18:02

Silly and immature? Surely. I can't help it! All I can think right now is "what the hell is a climing frame?". Anything to do with clime? I need this information to be able to respond as to whether or not pushing a child off it is horriable...

DarrellRivers · 23/11/2009 18:02

It would be my elephant if I ignored it though

DarrellRivers · 23/11/2009 18:03

'Disgusting'

I love it when people say that

mummygirl · 23/11/2009 18:03

me too HG. I think I love you tonight

cornsilkwearscorsets · 23/11/2009 18:04

What if you were pushed off the elephant?

MintyCane · 23/11/2009 18:05

For sure, it is a massive elephant.

mummygirl · 23/11/2009 18:05

lol cornsilk

MintyCane · 23/11/2009 18:06

he he I love it when MN gets all sureal.

DarrellRivers · 23/11/2009 18:06

Not sure how that fits in
I hope you're not advocating violence against another poster

mummygirl · 23/11/2009 18:07

"surreal"

MintyCane · 23/11/2009 18:08

he he sorry I am so disgusting I know

mummygirl · 23/11/2009 18:08

no, I think I am the disgusting one for mentioning it

DarrellRivers · 23/11/2009 18:09

Not to mention immature [stern]

NormaSknockers · 23/11/2009 18:09

MN at it's finest I see

Because of course, you have never made an error in your own spelling. Good grief.

DarrellRivers · 23/11/2009 18:10

I agree
At it's finest
As you were

mummygirl · 23/11/2009 18:10

I have made errors. I was disgusted by myself. And my errors.

tethersend · 23/11/2009 18:13

It's its Darrell

Hulababy · 23/11/2009 18:14

at all the comments re the OP's spelling and grammar.

OP - YANBU to think that parents should check their children's poor behaviour. However do try and bear in mind that it isn't the little boy at fault really, but his parents for not addressing his behaviour.

DarrellRivers · 23/11/2009 18:19

V good tethersend, was going to confess after posting, but thought I would wait and test you
