Im losing the will to live[ongoing]

Nipped into the local postmasters to pick up a newspaper. (without wanting to draw on stereotypes) Standing behind two large but young women who had a child in a stroller and were buying about 4-5 large bottles of blue WKD. The child picked up a pack of Digestives which was on offer next to the till. The man ran it thru the machine and the total came to just over a tenner or so...They ruffled thru their purses and said cant afford it, so they put the Digestives back!!!!! Nice message for the young lad.

Made my blood boil and was not sure if I wanted to give them the extra quid they needed or a lesson in parenting.

I think the Govt should do something about this...

You want the governed to force parents into buying biscuits for kids instead of Booze ?

How do you know they didn't already have lots of food for the child at home ?
 
Bravo for turning that one on its head Phil! Thats fine work, even for you!

I just don't think it's right the amount of judgments being made towards people - especially on what people buy in a shop without knowing the full background story

Prima facie evidence suggested that they dropped the pack of biscuits as they were short of cash.
But you could be right... they could (and hopefully) have a plenty of food at home - the size of young women did also point to that.

"the govt should do something about it" seems to be the mantra these days as kids not behaving well seems to be because the school or society or laws are not in place, while the parents are doing a sterling job.. not..

So judging them on their size as well as what they are buying

And how is the kid misbehaving because he asked for a pack of biscuits ?!

I'm getting a bit fed up with people on my ignore list arguing amongst themselves and turning threads into lists of posts I can't read! :confused:
