BarrelofFun said:Funny you should say that. I saw a girl, no older than 9 or 10 walking along with her mother. She had a tattoo on her arm, assuming it was a Henna/temporary one, but she was wearing a T-Shirt "Best FCUK in the world"

Thats how I interpreted it..
Les Biehn said:Oh right, sorry I thought he meant about all kids. It never even crossed my mind that I would treat my own kids in that way.
Starry said:i did mean about your own kids, only just read the bit where you said people, sorry.
but even so, there is lots you can do about other peoples kids. i don't mean wander about sainsburys and remove all the processed shit from peoples trolleys but among our circle of friends half of them never realised how bad a lot of the food they dish up their kids is until its come up in conversation. or like when our little girl went to play at a friends house and said she is not allowed to eat smarties it started a whole debate between our group of pals and ended with most of them deciding that plying their kids with e numbers is not the way forward.
things like people whacking their kids in public is tricky because if you say something do you make it worse for the kid when they get home or do you make the parent stop and realise how inappropriate their actions are. tough call.
but i've said things to parents in public when they have been being not so nice to their kids. probably not my place but when someone is using food in a restaurant to screw with their kids i have a hard time keeping quiet.
