Coats and children
« on: November 08, 2009, 12:37:17 PM »

Yesterday The Brat went out with some friends....was orrible weather as we all know - so as she was leaving I suggested she should take her coat. The look of disgust and ridicule I got back suggested I didn't know what I'm talking about and should just mind my own business.

I took little pleasure when she returned later that afternoon looking as if she had been treading water in open seas for at least 3 days    happy001

This morning ...off to football  - it is the same thing . It is not warm  - refusal to wear a coat.

I give up  - never buying another one for her as it is pointless  noooo:

And if she did the "authorities" would be all over you like a bloody rash.

Children are taught about all their "rights" at school and don't think twice about invoking them.

Pity no-one ever explained that with rights come responsibilities.

I have seen respectable, caring and loving parents dragged into the courts on the say so of a selfish brat trying to get its own way.

The child in question ended up in foster care because once the ball starts to roll no amount of "But honestly I made it up" will be listened to.

Personally I think it served the child right but it devastated the parents. Five sets of foster parents, two years and only "supervised" visits with the parents on "neutral" ground (in a village hall) of one hour per day ~ Mon to Fri and no weekends, because Social Workers need time off, before the child was finally allowed home, aged 16.
I used to have a handle on life but it broke.
