Silly Chewy, expecting parents to do some actual parenting.



this is the comment of yours I was referring to as you well know, and your airy fairy Waltons view on parenting, a few months back you suggested I couldn't have an opinion on working in retail as you thought I hadn't worked in a shop, now tune changed you are an expert in parenting without being one.

See TS post above which you failed to comment on though he essentially just said what I did, but maybe he put in a way you found more palatable?



as for who children are hanging out with, are you suggesting Chewy is some delinquent because he played 18 rated video games at 10? His mother felt he was quite capable and bought him the game, maybe he had a friend who wasn't quite so mature but came round his house, that's how kids get access to stuff their parents aren't that keen on, though I guess yours will live in a bubble.

I agree. Someone can’t accuse others of not understanding something because they haven’t done it, then do the self-same thing when it suits. Looking after a child for a brief period can hardly be compared to full-time parenting. Usual double standards from some.

Being a parent is more important than a retail job as parents are responsible for helping to create a well-balanced and grounded person into society. It’s pretty much a lifetime responsibility. You can never really retire. You always can get another job.
