I reckon whoever wrote the musical that the song 'Kids' is featured in probably had kids in mind when he wrote:

Kids!

I don't know what's wrong with these kids today!

Kids!

Who can understand anything they say?

Kids!

They are so ridiculous and immature!

I don't see why anybody wants 'em!

Just you wait and see

Kids!

Kids! They are just impossible to control!

(Soon you'll be old enough to be)

Kids! With their awful clothes and their rock an' roll!

(Another teenage delinquent)

Why can't they be like you were,

Perfect in every way?

What's the matter with kids to--

Kids!

What the devil's wrong with these kids today?

Kids!

Who could guess the they would turn out that way!

Why can't they be like we were,

Perfect in every way?

What's the matter with kids?

What's the matter with kids?

What's the matter with kids today?

I generally find them annoying when I'm fast asleep and they jump on top of you - that is really really annoying. I'm a deep sleeper and probably have had a few beers the night before, could really do with an additional 3 hours kip and to be woken up you feel - ok the day has started and its going to be a long time before you get any more kip. Apart from that first in the morning thing, kids are (mostly) good fun.


Oh and the first 6 months after the first one is born - thats takes quite a bit of coming to terms with - your life as you know it - is over. It gets better tho.

I think NOFX put it best in the song, What's the matter whith kids today?


There's something wrong with the kids in my neighborhood

They always listen to their moms

They disregard civil disobedience

They'd rather do what they're told

They don't drink, or fuck, or fight

They sit home, and read, expand their minds


There's something wrong with the kinds in my cul de sac

Their always goin to church

They dress well and they're

Speaking articulate

They show eachother respect

They're never late, don't smoke

or break rules

They eat right, study hard

They like school


There's something wrong with the kids in my neighborhood


Or perhaps they were just being cantankerous old fuckers.

    • My daughter, a single parent, has been let down by her children's' father, who was supposed to have them for part of the school holidays, So we are helping out. Our grand daughter aged 11 is no problem, but 9year old is more difficult to please. Has an interest in computers and coding, does not like crowds (neurodiverse)  Is keen n how things work and enjoys taking things apart. He is already going to the transport museum and has been to the science museum  Husband and I have some mobility problems so nothing too strenuous. have done Horniman's a number of times.  Is there any local holiday schemes where we can enrol him in for 2/3 days. There seems to be a number relating to singing/dancing and drama but nothing science/maths based. He does not have an interest in sport at the moment. Grand children live in Sussex and will be attending Holiday Clubs for a couple of weeks  
    • When I had a dead fox in my garden the council told me to put it in my wheelie bin, the green one.  I warned the dust bin men when they came that it was in there.They said they get worse than foxes put it!  Dead bodies!?  In the heat it might be better to bag it up first. Pam
