Kids were better behaved then. Had some discipline It isn't that though is it. Funnily enough I was having this conversation with the head as I picked up my lad, she agreed that as a society we are much more risk averse than we used to be. In the 70s (or even the 80s or 90s) if a child slipped over and broke their leg it'd be brushed off as just a bit of bad luck, now all these over concerned pathetic parents would be up in arms : somebody is to blame !

It's not the snow (or paedos) that scare me, it's the traffic, then what he'd do to our house...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
