    Just brilliant @wild edges
    How can you lie there and think of England
    When you don't even know who's in the team

    My youngest boy is like if you brought home a fox cub and tried to raise it like a dog. It looks like a dog, it's likely to be very sweet and entertaining, but it's not a domestic breed....
    I think I may have married one of those. He'd probably be more comfortable in a cave than a house.

    Kids and puppies have much in common.  Particularly pushing the limits all the time and then looking pathetic when they get into trouble.

    I dare say the child who p*ssed on the floor outside the supermarket my daughter works in - with no parent to be seen anywhere around - is the kind you're describing @wild edges.
    The parents who like to blame the teachers for their children's bad behaviour is one example of the problem. The parents are often just as bad, so no wonder the kids are feral.  
    We grew up with those deckchairs. If you trapped your fingers in it - you usually only did it once....
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    When I was little it would be "Don't do that", "Why not?", "Because you'll hurt yourself", "Ouch!", "I told you not to do that".

    Doors and stairs are dangerous things and windows are made of glass😟
    In London. Keen but lazy.

    The parents who blame the teachers are probably the same ones who send their children to school still wearing nappies and not toilet trained.  (I mean the children in nappies, but the parents probably aren't toilet trained either)

    I think there's a serious lack of 'training' altogether with some parents @KT53
