    Kids have an infinite capacity to embarrass their parents!

    I'm grumpy this morning as I don't appreciate being woken up at 5 am by loud rock music. Seems there's a rave going on somewhere on the hills behind us. As there are hills all around Bath the sound just reverberates around, it's hideous. I presume it's been going on all night despite the rain but we must have managed to sleep through most of it.  It's still going on now, so gardening's out of the question. OH has also taken the car and is out for the whole day - lucky him!

    I think it's pretty even. Parents have an infinite capacity to embarrass their children too.

    Good friends of mine, Italian/English, took their children to Southport beach. The boys were being too boisterous. Loudly, and to the consternation of nearby parents, Pino had had enough, “Basta, basta” he shouted.

    LOL @wild edges I absolutely love it when kids get it just a bit wrong  For months and months my grandson had a thing about buses and everything related to them.  He especially enjoyed shouting out bus stop everytime he saw one.  Unfortunately is sounded exactly like Bas tar* we spent ages trying to get him to pronounce it correctly.
    My grandaughter used to say S instead of F so when she pointed and shouted out Flag just as a young woman walked past the car it resulted in a lot of embarassment all round.

    Thank you @Dovefromabove. Im sure cake is a good cure😊
    I warned my husband but he didn't listen. Well before 18 months she was speaking lucid, grammatically correct sentences. In the middle of a christening, she loudly expressed her desire for another child's juice. The expletive was not deleted. She certainly didn't learn it from me.

    From what I see lately parents embarrass themselves more than their children.

    Or, worse still, don't feel embarrassed when they should.
