thank god its not just me!! my children despair of me 'getting involved" if I see wrong doing!! I have realised that if one sees a youngster doing something untoward, it is my duty as an adult to intervene. Not necessarily aggressively, but just point out that "you've dropped something darling" (for rubbish) or "be carefull sweetie" when some teenagers are being rather dangerously boisterous. Of course, one day its='s probably going to go horribly wrong and my children will have been proved right, however I am of the opinion that if children realise that people do notice, we might be able to nip some nasty behaviour in the bud. Gillandjoe I take my hat off to you - as a parent and dog owner, I applaud you and yes i would probably ended up just like you. Also, for the record, I too have humiliated myself over the childrens parking at sainsburys when I had a go at a man parking in the designated spaces, not spotting his very small wife and children in the car....... oh the shame (and they were so nice about it!!)
