everyones entitled to their own opinion angrymama even if the majority wouldnt agree with you,on here anyway

taylormama · 02/12/2006 21:07

do you think it is weird for your DH to bath your kids, kiss them, change their nappies, put them to bed .... you keep saying you find it weird without explaining why. Of course you are entitled to your opinion ...

lulumama · 02/12/2006 21:08

i agree re the opinions being allowed.....we are debating , no?

7swansaswimmingup · 02/12/2006 21:10

you debate away lulumama, im off to make a cuppa of tea, im not very good on the debate scene, im too wimpy to say exactly what i think

angrymamma · 02/12/2006 21:12

No, I don't think it is weird for my DP to bath my kids. What's that got to do with the paedo working as a nursery nurse and teacher training.

I repeat, I THINK it is WEIRD for a bloke to teach nursery/reception kids. Obviously nobody else thinks the same way as me.

lulumama · 02/12/2006 21:12

might drift off myself.......think this thread should die quietly in the corner!!

tiredemma · 02/12/2006 21:13

obviously NOT as you have not stated WHY you think its weird yet.

If you have a reason why you think its weird then we may be able to appreciate your view, but apart from you thinking its 'weird' you are not giving much else away.

lulumama · 02/12/2006 21:14

but not all male teachers etc are paedophiles

women can be peadophiles

so i am not getting why you think it is weird?

but then you don;t get why i think it isn;t..

so we will have to disagree on this

taylormama · 02/12/2006 21:15

because they are all MEN! i repeat - what if your DH was at a football match or at a swimming pool and someone thought he was watching kids for kicks? You would be upset but that is what you are assuming about men working with kids ....

angrymamma · 02/12/2006 21:17

Off to watch X factor.

What an awful thing to have happened I just hope those poor girls can get through that. I don't care what anyone says about when they're that age they don't know, they bloody do and that lives with them. Bastard hope he rots in hell. Glad he's is hopefully being kept away for life though.

As to the small debate re men working with young children. Firstly peodophiles do not just target young children it is up to the age of 14. It is a sad fact that we only mainly hear about male peodos especially where they are scouts leaders or sports coaches, teachers or clergy and it has led to a sterotype being formed which is hard to break down. So whilst I don't agree with the opinion of it being weird for men to work with children, I do see why there are many people out there who have those opinions and see where it comes from.

WeFrizyouamerrychristmas · 02/12/2006 21:45

and to hear about this, very glad he's locked up indefinately a judge with sense for once.

merrylissiemas · 02/12/2006 21:45

the best teacher i ever had was a male headmaster at primary school. i'm shocked that a thread that highlights every mothers and fathers worst nightmare is now about men working with kids. this man is sick and needs to be put away for a vvvv long time

WestCountryLass · 02/12/2006 21:46

AM somewhat baffled by the comments that it is weird for men to want to work with kids

tiredemma · 02/12/2006 21:49

so am I westcountrylass, Even more so when there seems to be no actual reason for it- apart from "its weird.......its weird"

WHY IS IT 'WEIRD?' - I dont understand.

tribpot · 02/12/2006 22:14

Will replace a few words and still see if it sounds 'reasonable'

"I repeat, I THINK it is WEIRD for a to teach nursery/reception kids."

"So you don't think it's weird a teaching nursery or reception kids?"

Just as few examples. You are basically saying that half of our population can be grouped together under some dodgy heading whereby it might be alright for them to have care of their own children, but definitely not to have care of anyone else's. Hello sexism, you are alive and well!

thank you tribpot....what a great way of looking at it..

foundintranslation · 02/12/2006 22:19

Haven't read the link. Don't think I can bear to.

dh is a psychologist and one of the things he would have liked to do when he finished his degree is work with children (e.g. as an ed psych). He would be fantastic at it, but I was reluctant as I am worried about exactly the sorts of attitudes being expressed by some on this thread ('it's weird for men to want to work with kids'), and dh possibly being falsely accused of something. As it is, he's doing his PhD in an unrelated area.
I am, actually, pretty upset and offended at the suggestion that my wonderful, caring, SAHD dh is weird.

angrymamma · 02/12/2006 22:20

No I wouldn't care if a black or muslim WOMAN taught my child, but not a man. It's just the way I feel. I know you all have different opinions. That's fine.

lulumama · 02/12/2006 22:23

ok..but all you have said is its weird...with no reason why you think so...that;s all......

edam · 02/12/2006 22:25

But it would be interesting if you could explain why you think it's weird, rather than just repeating the same point.

lillyloulou · 02/12/2006 22:34

Let's face it, it is odd a man working with little children. Most men wouln't even consider it. Men haven't got the patience for one.
