Boils my p1ss this, why can't people take charge of their kids (I have two myself!).

Me too. Fortunately my kids have out-grown soft play centres as these seem to be meccas for crap parenting.

I'm the least aggressive person in the world but on so many occasions I got into a slanging match and nearly worse due to parents sitting and drinking coffee believing that it's someone else's responsibility to supervise their children which are creating havoc. There is undeniably a causal link between the proportion of inattention of the parents and the extremes of their little darling's behaviour!

UGHHH....working in a leisure centre I have no end of crap parenting to witness....I definitely don't regret not wanting children....DOG AND A SPORTS CAR THANK YOU!

Just the sheer ignorance of parents drinking coffee in the cafe while their kids run riot, screaming and hiding and attempting to escape the building while their parent's exercise this awful independent, free-range parenting while drinking coffee and being ignorant still...drives me mad!

If it's any consolation they let them do that on the train as well, using the seats and luggage rack as an improvised adventure playground while "parents" are glued to their phone / frappuccino.

Same here to a T!, soft play with A holes who can't be bothered to keep an eye on their kids is my number 1 pet hate.

Luckily both of mine are through that era too now!.

I had a child kick me hard on the shin at a party. I looked down and saw that he was about to do it again so I put my hand on his head and pushed him back out of kicking range. I told him that being kicked hurt, so don't do it. He just laughed... I whispered to him that if he did it again I would kick him back and it would hurt him A LOT. He hesitated, but then grinned and wandered off. Soon after that I saw him kick another adult. I told his doting dad what he was doing and dad blithely replied "Oh, he can't help it - he doesn't understand what he is doing because he has ADHD!"

My wife has one of these going on in her class at the moment, and the professionals are starting to think that the mother might have Munchausen's Syndrome by Proxy.

My mother had that.
That poor child.

So, after all that, you don't want it! Thank you for wasting my time

If you can take the time to ring up about it & say you're coming, you could have the decency to say it's not what you want & not make me stay in.

It's not my fault that you didn't ask the big boss what he wanted. When big boss tells us to our faces that what we've been asked to do isn't what he wants, and he's going to change it, don't tell me I'm unprofessional warning my 'other' colleagues that changes are coming ! Just because you, 'big boss Director' haven't asked the 'big boss' what he wants. Idiots.
