Its a vicious cycle though - those kids will be the next generation of Hard Faced Bitches and so on and so forth ad infinitum. I was just thinking the other day that if I was in charge of the country I would have all people with any kind of tendencies to child abuse (particularly peodophilia) put down - because the abused becomes the abuser - the cycle has to end somewhere but it won't because apparently these people have 'Human Rights' - Oh My God - how right wing am I??

My instinct is to storm in there and tell these women about the effect they are having on their children and others. I have done it occasionally on playgrounds (but perhaps not quite such extreme cases as the ones you describe). But you are right, there is a danger they just take it out on their children or my children or myself...Marina Sofiahttp://findingtimetowrite.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4648435619736920024.post-26887274794662025082014-03-17T17:31:39.118+00:002014-03-17T17:31:39.118+00:00How about anonymous posters around the school area...How about anonymous posters around the school area "Bad language decreases vocabulary skills in young children by 80% - Thank you for not swearing"<br /><br />Oh dear I'm assuming that any intervention will mean they actually take a hard cold look at themselves and not automatically blame it on something, or someone (probably their own children) else.<br /><br />Good luck, it doesn't sound like a fun school run you have to put up with.Sidrathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07120481116949387059noreply@blogger.com
