What were the parents teaching them?

[CJ242]

Yet another story of kids having kids. Don't know about you, but when I was 14 I still hated boys.

The parents are teaching them to have sex.

That girl's mother consented to them sleeping together in her house.

These child-parents have no idea what bringing up a child of their own responsibly means, but if Councils and housing assiciations stopped giving homes to these people, and the state didn't give them any money, it'd probably make them think again before embarking on early pregnancies. These "perks" should be available to married couples, or those in long-standing relationships only - and perhaps if they're 21 or over. Mistakes'll always be made, but if the parents of these teenagers were made to pay for their grandchildren's upbringing, it might shake them into dringing it into their kids about contraception and the hardship of bringing children into the world without enough money to live properly.

"We will be arguing over whether to put them in Liverpool or Manchester United kits," she said, because she supported the Anfield club but the father followed the Red Devils.

Well this is it, Elvis. It might've been a casual remark, but you can see what's going to happen before they even get to that stage. It's the babies I feel sorry for, being born into a world where getting on in life just doesn't happen. Very sad.

[CJ242]

Ice maiden, you've got it exactly. We're in a world where kids think that getting pregnant gets you a free ride, because that,s what they learned from their parents. I recently heard that pregnant teens were deliberately smoking like chimneys because it causes low birth weight (hence less pain during birth) Which just proves their ignorance. I know it sounds cliche but I blame the parents!!

[ELVIS68]

For the record CJ242, my reply was tongue in cheek

[Ice.Maiden]

Bh!!! They believe that??? Ignorant indeed - but then, if the kids aren't taught themselves - how on earth are they supposed to pass on knowledge to their own children? I think it's tragic. All those beautiful babies born into a life of poverty, crime, debt, no education......

Got to laugh though Bez - I know a litle Everton fan, who was kitted out from the word go! Lol. Mind you, the child's well brought up and looked after.

[Ice.Maiden]

I agree with that - and being made to use manners as well - but how can children respect parents who don't even know how to respect themselves?
Oh - excuse me CJ - Bez, you know the pic I sent to you? Would it be possible to send it onto pasta please? not working from this end!! : (

[CJ242]

bez, sounds like you grew up in the same, yes thank you, no thank you, please may I leave the table, world that I did!

[Ice.Maiden]

My children still do, CJ. They were taught from being very young that before they get anything, they have to ask nicely - and say thank you upon receipt of!

[Nannyjillx2]

How can the parents say you can't stop young couples staying over when they are courting?

It's ridiculous under your roof you make the rules,obviously the parents think it is acceptable, but when the 2 young parents are older they can going to set up home together paid for by the tax payer no doubt.

[CJ242]

If one of my daughters asked if her boyfriend could stay over when she was 14 I would first laugh heartily in her face and then probably ground her for life for even thinking about it!

[paraffin]

And there was I thinking that I was a perv when I was 10 years old and a girl at our school let me and my mates look up her skirt in the playground!!!!!!!!

The daughter is called Samantha Humphries and the mother is called Janet Gilbert. Says it all really doesn't it.
