So all you can really say was that the oldest kid who wasn't toilet trained was 15. We aren't told if there was more than one nappy wearer of that age

So this could have been a single kid per school per year in 9% of the sampled schools?

so... 1,600 5-7 year olds still in nappies, out of around 2 million 5-7 year-olds in England

that's hardly an epidemic!

Cos mothers are supposed to devote their every waking hour to serving the needs of their offspring. Dads are ok to do their own thing tho, kids only need mums as slaves.


And before you say your comment was gender neutral, not many guys I know do spa pamper days.

Your interpretation not mine, but you're right to the extent that men do narcissism differently.

Ditto mothers.


So, RPC are you saying that parents doing pamper/spa/me time type stuff are narcissistic?


Do you think that parents should put their kids at the centre of their universe and devote all their energy to them?


Just interested because I'd rather top myself than feel obliged to become that kind of parent or I'd want to kill the bratty, self-absorbed kids that kind of parenting produces.

Happy to oblige.


On the shouting/fist-waving, how is that different from any other thread?

    • For every person like OP that moans their doorbell was rung and there was a knock on the door, there's someone else moaning that they didn't hear the delivery drivers. If you've ever done delivery work you'll know that loads of people's bells don't work. The delivery drivers probably goes to a hundred doors a day: press bell, knock door, drop package, move on. If you don't like delivery drivers, insist on delivery by Royal Mail where the workers have wages and a union - or just stop ordering shit online that's artificially cheap. But most of us (me included) don't want that
    • If someone comes to my house and bangs my door and slams my gate, I'd speak to them about it nicely and ask if they would please not do that. And then subsequently less nicely if they keep doing it, ending in reporting them.  We don't slam doors at home and I don't put up with that either. I can see us moving to a culture where we bribe drivers to be nice by tipping them, but we shouldn't have to. It's not necessary - does not matter if they are on minimum wage or not, or if society means that delivery services are outsourced or whatever reason anyone would like to concoct.

    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.
