Spot on Gerry, totally agree with you, while there has to be a safety net to help out those in genuine need and those who are more vulnerable in our society, there are way more people taking advantage of it. Just to slightly come off subject but the same sort of thing, it is the same with immigration. There are those who are genuinely vulnerable and who are real genuine asylum seekers who need as much help and assistance as they can get, but there are also an awful lot of illegal immigrants and fake asylum seekers who take advantage of that same system and who come here more as economic migrants as they see it as being a better way of life here. (heads for the hills, ducks down with shield in place over head for barrage of abuse about to fly for mentioning the "I" word!)

Selfish Ba****ds on the train who when I put my newspaper away to make more room for more passengers to get on which passengers then proceed to take up 3 people's space with their own newspaper! Thwacked the newspaper of one such tw@t this morning and asked him, "do I look like a bloody desk!" to a round of applause from the other travellers, it had been resting on my back!

I also think that children are genuinely able to pick up on their parent's stress levels and frames of mind, I know for sure when I really needed the kids to be really well behaved and was getting stressed out about it, (when they were small) i.e. having an important visitor, or going somewhere important I could guarantee that they would behave in exactly the opposite way, and often felt they picked up on my stress vibes and just reacted to how I was feeling or reacting to my own vibe or stress level. Once I'd wised up to this, I would approach situations with the minimum of fuss or stress possible and it did have the desired or better/effect. I think its the same with newborns, if they feel the person handling them is confident and knows what they are doing, they do pick up on the vibes and are actually more settled.

Lol! Trust the Americans to overdo it! And that is just sooo like them, (sorry just called to mind the many sketches and exchanges between the American Guy played by Kevin Kline and John Cleese and Michael Palin in "A fish called Wanda" :) Sorry completely off topic!

Well on that note Scruffy, what do you think of America's approach with the screaming crying lifelike babies they give to teenagers to try and deter them from having babies young? has the teenager pregnancy ratio dropped in America or did they have any impact at all? was just wondering.

I have worked hard and have made my decisions according to my financial ability and ability to bring up a child in a healthy and stimulating environment, even the number of children I have had has been governed by my ability to support them, and as to whether or not I can afford to give them at least a half decent life, and yet there are women out there churning out 5, 6 kids at a time, on benefits and with no thought of who is going to support them and looking to the government. I get really annoyed when I get approached by the women on the Tube, babes in arms, begging for money while I'm on my way to work, having safely secured child care/school for my children etc. so that I can go to work to erm....help keep her at home with all her kids and living off my money, makes me so mad, one such woman caught me on a really bad Monday morning...bad news! Of course I would love to be able to afford to stay home more with them but some of us unfortunately do not have the choice it seems.

Sorry my computer was on a time lapse and I was answering the question regards Tea anyone? lol soz X

Sorry, I have to disagree with you Cassius, at most schools now the norm is to be getting free school dinners, trips and free school uniform vouchers, I was in the minority, having to pay through the nose for everything, I could not afford to send my children on the many school trips that those with benefits were getting free, my kids were the ones who had to make do with the second hand clothing and never went to school wearing Nike this or Addidas that whereas it always seemed to be the kids on benefits whose parents were able to afford the nice clothes, and bloomin family holidays to boot, what are they? Unfortunately the system is geared toward people on benefits, even the teachers at my oldest daughter's school felt so irritated at the injustice of it all they all had a whip round so my daughter could attend a weekend trip to France which the majority of her classmates on benefits were getting free! I've worked every day of my life since I was 15 (apart from time off to have my children and then working part-time until they reached school age) and I don't care, its just not fair! There now, all feeling better XX Sorry XX

Why what did they do? my sister-in-law had Social Services attend her home after someone reported the noises coming from her home, but once the lady had actually visited and witnessed for herself the actual behaviour of her extremely overactive and loud 2 year old and checked everthing was ok, she left and conveyed her deepest sympathies for her. She also gave her some numbers if things ever really got out of hand and she needed support and if my niece's behaviour didn't improve. I think too many children slip under the Social Services care nets when it comes to their safety and well being, and I would must rather a few innocent families get unnecessarily investigated than one more child suffer or die at the hands of abusers overlooked due to the incompetence of Social Services.

I would be very careful however, how you approach the parents, if you are on quite good talking terms with them, you could approach by saying, my God you poor people, how do you cope! I would be climbing the walls by now! My aunty had kids who ......blah blah blah, that way it kind of opens up a channel for them to vent what a nightmare their toddlers are while at the same time letting them know you hear it all, all night long! but in a nice way. But still, it isn't that common to have young children screaming in high pitched wails or at the top of their voices ALL the time, my niece is an exception and I would be concerned if I lived next door to someone whoes child never stopped screaming, and would just need to make sure all was ok. The bigger fear is what if something bad was happening to them, you never know, and I am sure there are many a repentant neighbour who wish they had in fact listened to their instincts and called someone in the cases of children who have been abused, harmed and killed in their homes, and who very obviously must have heared crying or screaming. Its really is a difficult call.
