Today Mrs sqad went to lunch with her badly dressed friend, who today was more appropriately dressed, and had a wonderful tale to tell.
In that restaurant came two UK families, each one with mother, father, each with two children aged 7 yrs and 8 yrs and one toddler in a push chair each............a total of six children and 4 adults.
The children were well behaved, no whingeing and all the children sat at the table throughout the meal with no running about.
I'm all for well behaved children, and can't stand screaming naughty children in supermarkets, restaurants and in church. Often it is "modern parenting" claiming the little horrors "need to express themselves!" What tosh!
Not just modern, Ann.....my sister...who is now a gran....brought her two up with no discipline as they would fulfill their true selves through free expression.....I had to ban them from my house before I freely expressed myself with the butter paddles....☺
