I remember taking our daughter to Aneto a while ago, for a bit of pasta for her tea. She kicked up a proper tantrum, screaming and crying. There was no shuttin consoling her. So I just paid up and apologised to the guy. He smiled and told me not to worry about it, and offered to put the food in a container to take home.


It's good when adults can behave like adults.

Surely this is just normal practice for 99% of parents. It's just the 1% that seem to make the east Dulwich forum.

Hmmm, now...I wonder what on earth you could be trying to allude to!

I have never, ever been barged out of the way by a mum with a buggy when walking along the pavement.

I have never seen a child using a potty in the middle of a restaurant

I have never come across a child called Jocasta, Cordelia, Tarquin or Barclay in the playground.

I have never sat in a restaurant while kids run around me screaming, and their parents ignore them


Sometimes I think I must live in a different city to some of the posters on here.

Not only have I experienced ignorant pavement hogging parents with buggies, I?ve also had to pull the self absorbed ones up for not politely acknowledging someone standing back to let them through with their precious cargo. Not everyone wants to hear your screaming child when they?re paying for a service in a local business such as a cafe. I don?t personally see the issue with a parent taking some responsibility and ensuring the shared environment of a cafe is comfortable for everyone. Don?t get selfish people at all.

Totally agree.


My point is that the moaning on here about selfish parents and brattish kids is totally out of proportion with actual reality.

I'm afraid, it will almost certainly not be her..... :)

    • One of the best of Shakespeare 's plays.  I did Othello for A level. Also seen a number of stage and film versions. Is there any specific aspects of the play that is difficult for your daughter to understand?  
    • @Sue think this is your quote.  It wasn't binary, good Vs bad, and Corbyn had a lot of popular support, as evidenced by the previous election. He had aot of good policies, some picked up by others since. He was defeated by a mixture of a right wing press,good targeting the Johnson 'Get Brexit Done" and for some that Johnson was a funny loveable rogue/fool/liar/philander/opportunist.  I wouldn't see choosing the perceived least worst candidate out of the two major parties as being "good sense'.  We imagine that Corbyn would have been terrible, but we don't know.  He would have taken a stronger line against Israel in Gaza, not sucked up to Trump nut on Russia?  Would the UK be better for that?
    • We have had 4 greyhounds - the last one, a bitch, was not speyed so we  had to pay for that at our local vet.  Only one dog was nervous around children and only one was cat friendly.
    • Apologies on the tardy reply, but thank you everyone for your responses and suggestions! Unfortunately I couldn't attend the recent EDF drinks because of work (I know right). But will absolutely keep eyes peeled for the next one and try and come down!
