Some folks just shouldn't become parents.
I see all too many disgusting examples and it's very upsetting.
Most recent example was earlier this week, a "young lady" with a wee girl aged around 3-4. Child either being totally ignored or shouted at, "stop it", "move", etc.
...
so turn a blind eye, give it a rest, schools have a duty of care and that includes what happens outside of school, sometimes the only way social services can find out if there is a problem with a child is from the school...
No, sorry, I didn't mean because she was young, she looked around mid twenties. She was speaking to the child like it was a nuisance and she just didn't careYou would have said that about my wife and myself at 16 and 17 years old and a nipper on the way. I am sure everybody who knew me would certainly have agreed with you, however 42 years on with 3 great kids all well educated and established in life, and without help from either of our parents or social services.
Is more money the answer? maybe not because if he is buying it then money is there.

I have a friend who, like yourself married when her and hubby were 16 and 17, also heard it all, won't work, etc.
They've also been married over 40 years, they struggled, worked hard and now comfortable with a happy family
Some people work hard and take responsibility, sadly others don't.
the problem isn't always money, one problem I believe is there are not enough people from a certain background who understand and can relate to such problems , having a degree in sociology or whatever is required is worthless if the first day on the job is the first time you've ever faced this or similar problems.

and your point is...your son will have no memory of your homeless anyway my point is that too many people believe a degree somehow will help them deal with those of society who need the most help, I've met too many people who's job is to help and have no idea how to interact or understand the needs or wants of these people,
I'm sure there are but I'm not sure of the relevance, the only reason I mentioned a degree because most of the jobs that there to help the most needy of society, one is required....if you, they, whomever really want to tackle the major problems facing certain parts of our society then we need to start with people who comprehend whats it like,
You could be right there, as even I am not sure what I meant and I still cannot figure it out.
This family don't want 'help'. They want someone to do it for them. Big difference.
