IF its the remotest consolation cosy..i knew what you meant. In an attempt of almost apology,you tied yourself up in knots ? I rarely apologise. as Maybe i felt the emotion after it was long gone :) but i also, DO apologise..sometimes.
I saw this as an apology from you..and you are wordy like myself.sometimes the greatest of wordsmiths make the Greatest Fuax p’as !!.. now fvck off :)

We treat it all as a Dress rehearsal really. Hindsight is a wonderful thing ;)@melody wrote:
Some scenarios where I have told off other ppls children….
1) 4 boys from year 5 climbing on a wall with a 30 foot fall on the other side. I told them off and stood and waited for them to climb down. This horrified my daughter as she was in their class at school
2) a child in my street decided to play chicken and stand in the road with arms outstretched in front of a bus… i opened my front door and yelled at him to move and stop being so foolish
3) A little girl wandering around a shop trying to talk to me… I told her to go and find her mother – her mother glared at me from across the shop for talking to her child so i shouted to her that I was making sure she was able to find her again, she shut up after that.
The fact of the matter is many parents allow their children to do things that others find totally unacceptable. Its all about principles and morals. I would never allow my children to wander off in a shop. EVER. But to some its fine.
It is difficult to know when you are being a responsible person and acting out of safety or being a meddling busy body and should turn a blind eye. I like to think I am the first.
it just takes that one second eh mel ? look at the Bulger case ( shudder) .
on a lighter note i once told the wee girl across the road to get out a hole the gas board had dug, there was an ominous smell of gas. to this day she wont talk to me and my grandson plays with her kids. It must have worked.. my telling her off ! But what is sad too is the other side of the coin,, a male friend of mine, himself a grandad saw tis wee girl have an awful fall,, she was screaming and covered in Blood, but my friend felt as a man he could not approach her.Without knowing the full scenario Jen.. I would say YES it is acceptable to tell off a child. especially if they were about to cause mischief to themselves and others.children get up to all sorts,a simple telling off and a glower to acknolwedge the deed should suffice.
Like Cosy, I Never smacked. a firm look into the eyes.and a shake of the head would sort it.
all bairns are different though.. and nowadays your liable to get cheek back.
I got a weird one honey !! (sense of humour that is) yeah i dont mind monsuer Thin..

oh gosh.. I would fall out with someone to prove myself right !! This came from being married to a man who was an only child. its only now i can say.. “heck i do not care”.
even now his mother does not let my grandson lose.. I tell her it is so wrong. a simple childs game.. he loses to me ! NOT that im being a sleekit wee fooker. Just teaching him e does NOT win ALL the time !
