Shouting at someone else's kids

[Joe24]

No Joe, you're still getting confused. Polar Indiginous first Nation peoples can't fart. Fact. I don't know what would happen if you fed them yeast. I never feed pigeons with yeast. I think it might give them thrush.

Pigeons cant fart. Have you ever heard one fart? No. There you go.

Pigeon chasing kids can easily turn into duckling kicking to death kids. Last year here in York, that very thing happened, a group of kids found it funny to kick a small chick like a football, the poor thing was so badly hurt that it had to be put to sleep.

So where do you draw the line? You have to teach all children that everything has a right to life, pigeon or not, if you didn't then society as a whole would fall to pieces.

Feeding yeast to seagulls is apparently an old Navy way of passing the time.

I once got told by a very old guy, that he used to go onto the beack with a hook on the end of some string, and put a chip or something on the hook. A seagul would come down, get the hook and then he would 'fly' this seagul like a kite.

These all look like cute, healthy and happy children, why anyone would want to tell them off for doing what children do I don't know

That's what I did this morning.

Went with some friends to Tropical World in Leeds. Stood outside, I was pretty shocked at the number of kids chasing pigeons, some parents actually encouraging them to do so. Just thought it was mean. Anyway, one little boy starts chasing and I found myself shouting 'Don't chase pigeons'!! Kid looked terrified and ran off. His Mum told me 'I can tell him, thank you!" (although she didn't) and marched him away.

I do feel a bit bad - there must have been a more grown up way to handle it and I would be incensed if somone shouted at my kid. But I'd also be mortified!! As a non-Mum, how wrong is it to shout at someone else's kid?

I'm with you on this - i sincerely hate when parents who dont appear to be able to parent - dont ! This is why teens are so off the tracks in certain instances !

Go on then yenrod, tell us what real parenting is about then. You're sounding like a DM article.

Do you have any kids?

Daily Mail?

Re putting kids straight - I think failing to do so is an abnegation of duty. You're a grown up; it's your duty as a citizen to put kids straight if they're out of order. Having said which, having a go at them for chasing pigeons seems a bit harsh. It's just a bit of fun, and the pigeons enjoy it too.

I once told a girl to pick up some litter that she'd just thrown onto the pavement.

I do that (ie tell kids to pick their litter up). My kids think it's terribly embarrassing, but ...

I pick it up and give it to them with a lecture.

Now that is bad parenting.

But all they do is throw it on the floor further down the street, anyway.
