That’s something I don’t really get, the whole concept of wanting to know where your kids are at all times but then I’m not a parent. What I do know is that as a child I did whatever the hell I wanted wherever the hell I wanted. When I say child, I mean child. Not 11, 12 or 13. That’s not a criticism of my parents, that’s a reflection of what I was like. They were damned if they did and damned if they didn’t. The more they pulled towards one direction, the further I’d run in the other. I had my ‘teenage rebellion’ ten years before everyone else. After that I just wasn’t interested.
I love my family but I valued my freedom more, especially at that age and it hasn’t done me any harm. I don’t do drugs, I don’t smoke, I don’t drink, I don’t stand on street corners shouting abuse at people for fun – never have done.
But then, times have changed so I can see your point.
I think the problem is, sian, that a lot of kids don’t want their friends to see them spending their summer holidays with mummy & daddy.
It’s not so much the kids though, it’s the adults complaining about them that’s actually worse. ‘There’s kids on the roof – dial 999’ Did you say they’ve fallen off the roof? ‘No’ Then who f**king cares? Why have you phoned 999? Now you’ve reported it, officers will have to attend even though there’s no need. It’s your fault there’s no police around when people need them, you can explain that to the little old lady who may well be mugged in an area where foot patrols are normally carried out.
Why didn’t you just ignore them and let the problem sort itself out one way or another? :lol:
We had stuff for the youth here but they ruined it for themselves, we had discos for them but then the complaints of 14 year olds wandering round/going home drunk saw an end to that. Then there was the youth cafe which they ruined with their own behaviour and got local residents complaining. Anything else has went the same way for one reason or another.
Sounds quite polite and friendly, could have been worse!
Sounds like tedious shyte more like. I dread the holidays, they are the CCTV equivalent of an international incident :lol:
I missed it, but can I just clarify that it’s actually a load of pish?
I prefer Football Manager on the PC. 2006 brought me my best ever team – even got Beckham on a free transfer from Real :D
Probably been sucked into the highly addictive GTA IV – I have to put a limit on it or I’d be on it all day and all night if I allowed myself to.
Bet you’ll all forget on the day – my wager is half a packet of cheese and onion crisps & a record token :lol:
Hmmm…dragging up old threads – who does that remind me of? :lol:
Well, roughly. Kinda close is close enough :lol:
