I wouldn't have believed him anyway and would have tried it myself.

Maybe they were just checking their balance....

Three wheels on my wagon,
And I'm still rolling along,
etc
Cover me in chocolate and feed me to the lesbians

Yup. In my day you had to turn the TV off and come to the table for your dinner. You ate what was put in front of you and you had to be respectful. When adults were talking you kept quiet.

Nowadays kids have a screen with them wherever they go and they feel entitled to be entertained every waking second. They feel entitled to be the centre of all attention constantly and they don't have to pick their toys up when they're done with them.

In my day two homosexual men couldn't adopt a child, what's your point, you accept homosexual men adopting kids but your obvious disdain for kids proves your chic liberalism is just that  - you are full of shit.

I grew up in an era when children were to be seen and not heard. Any answering back to parents, grandparents, aunts or uncles would have been met with a sharp rebuttal and some kind of punishment.

What it taught me was respect for my elders, which was no bad thing at all.

Catch a f**king grip of yourself Orior - children should also be shown respect, though I think you are trying to be funny, if children feel unable to ask questions or counter what an adult is saying if they think it is wrong how is that correct.  No wonder so many poor kids suffer in silence when they can't approach their parents without fear or rebuttal or punishment.

And should be allowed to play with their toys in their own home, without some fcukwit from Ireland complaining about them.

The technology is grand, even necessary, once it's rationed. Kids in general are allowed to spend way too much time on tablets and phones by parents who can't be bothered parenting. I don't understand the decision(on a planet that's being destroyed by overpopulation) by some people to have 3/4/5 kids when it's clear they'd rather be doing other things, but the most obvious motivation seems to be that they can post cute pics of them on social media. I'm far from a perfect parent myself of course.

Getting back to the good old days we went out at breakfast at weekends or after tea at weekdays and came home for food and bed.  That was common place around the estates why did folk have 3,4 or 5 kids then? Your slur on lazy parenting beacause a child watches tv or plays a computer game is ridiculous. Lets not get away from the adopted yanks original issue kids daring to play with toys at christmas in their own home.

He must be an irritable grouch alright. We can't all be as laid-back as yourself though.

Play as much as you want. As long as you don't leave every single one of them strewn across the floor like a spoiled brat.
