fox20thc Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 I took my son to school in the morning after a hearty breakfast, crappy awful weather today (I think we can all agree.) Went to the newsagent to buy him some tissues and had horrible thoughts as I waited to pay. A group small children (primary infant age) no coats on, buying up loads of chocolate, crisps and cheap fizzy pop all stood in front of me. They then made their own way to school munching as they walked in the drizzle unsupervised. (youngest was about 6, oldest 8 if that) awful thoughts crossing my mind included: 1. God how can the parents send them out without coats 2. Don't they get any breakfast? 3. I hope they get across the three busy roads ahead of them without getting killed. So am I being a snob by thinking these kids are being dragged up and not properly cared for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fox20thc Posted October 6, 2006 Author Share Posted October 6, 2006 How is that being a snob or awful? Don't really know, I just felt guilty for being so internally critical of their parents who I don't know. At least they were going to school but I just felt a bit sorry for them.

Norbert Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 Why is it that you have to get a cat licence but not a child licence? That's what I want to know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
