Your own kids are the best thing since sliced bread, wether you planned to have them or not. All these things people don't like, the getting up early, the noise etc you don't notice as spending time with your little ones is amazing
We love our two boys and our two boys love Dubs, therefore we take them to local family friendly shows . They are very independant and well behaved if not a touch arrogant at times, however I will have a few beverages but not get drunk in charge of them. At shows the children sleep right through the noise, I have no problem with noise, but people smashing up toilets, wrecking the place falling into tents I do have problems with , if my children are there or not. I have been in the situation of looking after other peoples children on a camp out when the parents have decided to lay in , other random children who have spoken to my child for half a minute wondering in as they are bored .......nope not having that, not one bit....... I like some children ,I dislike others ...........
I would like to say all the kids ive met from the late bay Have been polite,respectfull,well behaved and a credit to there parents I love camping with kids as they seem to come alive when in the outdoors and you often get a little glimpse into the way they see the world and that can be very enlightening I must admit my heart does melt when the kids say thankyou mr para after ive given them some sweets or a bag of crisps etc
My daughter has been going to Glastonbury since she was a baby - we didn't bothered with the family camping fields. She usually slept through whatever riotous behaviour was going on around. When she was 2 she and her mum camped right next to the Glade which was pumping out banging tunes at extreme volumes 24 hours a day,
Don't get me wrong I am not against them bringing the baby. But they have seen our house to know the size and they also know we keep rats in the spare room and they know about the cat. The evening was planned to be a late night drinking and gambling evening, not something I would expect a baby to come along to. However had we known in advance I would have happily moved my creatures around to give the baby somewhere quiet. I do think turning up to what they know is a small house that they know is already going to have at least 8 people (some staying over) with a car seat, massive bag, a giant travel cot that they have demands around where it goes and the noise level without at least saying beforehand 'do you mind if we bring the travel cot' is abit much
We do see them still. We just only invite them over for BBQ's rather than poker nights. To be fair though this is the same person who a few years ago bc (before children) who got really very angry and had a proper go at us because we said we never wanted children. His argument was that it is our duty to have children and that it was disgusting that we werent. Took me a while to see them again after that one! I have nephews and keep toys etc at mine for them to play with, I am not houseproud so I dont care what state my house is left in, I just feel there is a time and place and that people with and without kids both need to be mindful and tolerant of each other.
Sounds like a self-righteous prick if you ask me, if he were my friend I think I would have sacked him off long ago. You're a very tolerant person. Based on this, I wonder what his views are of people who can't have kids?
I actually agree with everybody on here! I think people need to be responsible for their kids and when their kids are out of order (as all kids are) it is the responsibility of the parent to apologise on behalf of the kids and then they have a responsibility to the kids to make them apologise themselves for their own behaviour so they learn how to behave. I have three kids 26 year old daughter who is gonna make me a grandad in September, 17 year old boy and a 14 year old daughter. I love all three of them with equal passion! Even my daughter who is 14 despite her getting as Pis£&@ as a parrot with her mate on thu night at our house unbeknown to us and then ruining our day as she was as sick as a dog all day! First time for her to drink to excess but at least is was done in the safety of our home! Down stairs in the cellar with her mate supposed to be going to sleep but instead hit the rum and the gin! Just started eating again lunch time today! Ha that will learn her! Being a parent has been and still remains the hardest thing I have ever done but it is also the most rewarding by far! I don't blame anybody not wanting to look after any body else's kids but make no mistake we have a right to be all the places that anybody else chooses to go as long as we are responsible for our kids! The second we are not then we as parents deserve a good slapping! Parent hood according to Mr Pro! Ha ha
Well if your at a late bay meet and want to get hammered all weekend then luckily uncle WoodyLubber is a certified child minder and runs uncle woody cresh all weekend Hes great with the kids and all he asks is they dont turn up any later than 7 am in the morning Its best to get the kids to knock on his sliding door at 6 am repeating the words woody woody tell us a story
Well ,I think kids are fab ! and I like them even more if they have a teensi weensy bit of manners, and when they scream their head off I think its coolio/funny that so much sound can come from one small person, endlessly.Disclaimer<I have no kids .
