I’ve been following the hoo haa about Nancy being left in the pub by Mum and Dad and felt a touch of empathy as we have encountered a similar situation ourselves. It certainly did not surprise me to read in the news that it had happened to many other parents but what amazed me was the ‘commentators’ who thought these unfortunate children be taken into care immediately or worse! It must be wonderful to be so perfect but I am not sure their kids will want to be escorted to the loo as teenagers, I can see it now:
Mum: Hold my hand Kevin, roads are dangerous.
Kev: That’s SO not cool Mum!
Mum: When you leave home you can do what you like.
Kev: But Mum, I’m 32!
Mum: Exactly and I don’t want you talking to strangers again.
Just what age children can cross the road by themselves is a subject I’ll probably come back to. More
