What he said.
 

[Nick]

I was thinking of the kids. But one can sometimes see how parents lose it (serious point)

[Uncle Mort]

Always count to ten Nick. I always did when my two were little.

Back to Delia, not that I saw the programme but what is so wrong with tinned mince?

[Nick]

Ask Wenchy.

And I just don't count to 10. I leave the house!!

OK?

It just seems so wrong to me. In an age when we are trying to educate people on the benefits of fresh healthy ingredients and how cooking needn't be arduous that a person who is widely respected in that area is advocating the use of meat in a can.

Mine was also serious ~well a little bit ~ trying to keep things light really.

Yes I have often thought and said that I can well understand how a child can provoke a parent into beating it senseless or worse. I do not mean that I condone such actions but I can undrstand how those with, how shall I put this, less self control than most of us have can go too far without actually meaning harm. In court they always look so bewildered that it could have happened to them. There are of course exceptions for whom I have no sympathy.

Agreed ..... look at the additives etc that the tin also contains. Delia is guilty of trying too hard to be different.

I agree. Effing hard work. Kids are difficult. I am sure I wasn't, but maybe I was. I was a bastard between 14 and 18. I know that.

Hormones? Perhaps they start younger these days. I am glad the telly has gone. He learns shit from the Simpsonsw

[Snoopy]

The trouble with raising kids is that there is no book of instructions. I have 5 (ish) ... the eldest will be 40 on 1st April (how appropriate is that!!!) and I am still trying to get it right. The only training is "on the job" and everyone of the little sods is different.
That is why I disagree with Tony Bliar & co about "Parenting" classes as a sentence to be handed down to me if my kid ends up before the beak. We all know that such things will be run by "Sincere" wimmin in indian print skirts, sandals, with unshaven legs and armpits and no stockings. Their toe nails will be over long and painted a garish colour and they will have body piercings.

[Nick]

Oh, you have met her then

[Uncle Mort]

I attended Parenting class arranged by the children's seconday school when they started there last year. The two running it were not as described by Snoopy.

The intake for year 7 was 149 pupils which gave a possible attendance approaching 300. The biggest turnout was 12, three being me, my ex and her husband. He and I were the only men.

I think that those who need parenting classes are the ones least likely to attend.

[Nick]

One agrees!

[Snoopy]

Sister in Law conforms to the description and she is in "Social Work"
