Have You Had A Good Day?

[TWR]

We had, we went to a garden Centre called Dobbies, bough on or two Items, on our return e stopped at a local pub for a pint, this Mother, her friend was there with her sprogs, the lad about 10 was a right mouth piece, shouting, I ordered our drinks & sat near us, this little *** kept mouthing so I said is there any need for that, his mother said he's always like that, how can you answer a comment like that?

Ho hum, just remembering why the early bird thread doesn't appeal.....

There is no reason for kids to be screaming at the top of their voices. OK, some of them might have ADHD or be on the autiscic spectrum but those kids are in the minority. I very rarely have kids who scream at the top of their lungs in my workplace. In fact, hardly ever. The parents know that that kind of behaviour is inappropriate and nip in in the bud. For some reason they don`t feel that they have to nip it in the bud in supermarkets, garden centres etc. There is nothing worse than the battering on the eardrums from a piercing scream from a kid. But hey, the little darlings have to be able to express themselves.

He wasn't in Dobbies restaurant, he stopped at a local pub for a pint.

[murraymints]

[Baldric]

Yep, agree with that one.

"Children Welcome" signs to me say they don't want proper customers, I leave 'em well alone!

I must be lucky, when I take my children out to a restaurant or pub I very rarely meet any of these noisy mouthing sprogs.

I made a very rare visit to a McDonalds 2 weeks ago, and a woman came in with her son, aged about 4-5. He started running amok within seconds. His mother was at the other end of the place, busy chatting to her friends.

But after about 5 mins, the inevitable happened and the little boy slipped and hit his head on a table. The mother then noticed that her little darling was yelling and accused the poor McDonalds worker of not cleaning up a drinks spill quick enough. Rather foolishly, I tried to come to the aid of the McDonalds lady, saying that the mother should have looked after her child, instead of gossiping at the other end of the place. I just got a lot of bad language, so wished I hadn't bothered.

Going back quite a few years, now, but I was on a bus which had a bunch of young boys on who were shouting out the name of a male part of anatomy at the tops of their voices. I might not have said anything if I'd been the only other person on the bus, but there was an elderly couple who looked quite upset by it all, so I turned round and asked why the boys why they so much enjoyed shouting that word. They shut up and slunk off at the next stop. I'm not sure I'd do it now.

No cloverjo it doesn't do to tackle the little loves these days. I tried to reason with some kids (boys and girls aged about 11/12) a few weeks back who were terrorising people walking in the local park by swearing at them and faking the sex act (lovely kids!) and for my trouble I got followed practically all the way home by a couple of them making very strange noises and running past me and then back again, and I had my toddler son with me. Very scary. I won't do it again.
