Negative Parents.

[Jenarry]

What is it with parents that complain about their children all the time .
There is one or two of them on my fb and it drives me mad.
Our children's school broke up for summer holidays at 3.30pm today and by 5.30 one mum was commenting. 'Here we go,6 weeks of hell!!!.' 'The boys are already playing up'
Her two boys are aged 9 and 7 and are pretty good boys and I've always enjoyed having them around as the 9yr old has been a friend to my son for years ,so I know him and his younger brother quite well .
so I'm not sure how they must behave with their mum for her to be saying this after just 2 hours. :( It's not the first time she has posted somethig along these lines.
I would hate to feel like this about my son.

And some people still had to go to work during the holidays.

Some people start moaning about the holidays before they've even started, it's like they're expecting the worse. This is the longest summer holiday I can every remember (7 1/2 weeks), a week has gone already, it's flown by.

I worked part time through all the holidays.
My memory is still intact.

Money spent to keep a child entertained?
Obviously I failed

[joeluke]

Mothers like her who whinge about their kids should have kept their legs shut cos they obviously can't be bothered to entertain their children during school hols

Costs nothing to take your kids to the park/beach etc

[ummmm]

Not all siblings get on. It's really hard work being a ref....10 times a day...7 weeks non stop.

Give the parent a break. She probably knows whats coming and posted it.

Or maybe whiney parents get whiney fighty kids.......

I think it changes along the way - for a few years mine were best of friends and loved the simple pleasures we shared together.

At other times they were daggers drawn and you really had to be a referee all the time.

As they got a little older they both had strong ideas about how they wanted to spend the days.


It's a juggling act and par for the course when you're a parent.

[ummmm]

Yeah...okay. Stupid thing to say...
