I agree with Hx...yes they bluddy do!!! :undecided:
Would you discipline (not physically) your friends child if they were very rude to you in public ?
The reason I ask this is that I was having a convo with my Mum and she said that back in the day when she was bringing up myself and my sister if a few Mums went off to the park with their children, then generally they would all muck in and if one of them needed telling off it could have been any one of the mums that did it and the children all knew this and she says it produced alot more respect from the children to the adults. Nowadays I know that there are parents that would be absolutely affronted if one of their children were told off by anyone other than themselves.
In the instance of blatent rudeness for instance would it be too late to tell the mother if she hadnt been there and say nothing to the child. Would the moment have passed and the child think they had got away with it?
What do you think?
My view on this in general is that yes it's ok for a friend or family member to tell the child off. I will admit though to feeling miffed in the past when one of my children has been the subject in question and has been told off by another adult, but having said that I still think it's a good thing provided the teller offer has all the facts and there is no question that they could be wrong.
So sorry Earthy :therethere:

The photo's in this thread are brilliant from lots of folk. This is just one more of my favourites before I get carried away....
Hey!!! my inch is still there I just checked :shock:
No Peanut what your statement says to me is that you are saying that you ridicule anyone you see in the street wearing a hoody and doing or mimicking rap. Or have I got that wrong ? These youngsters are peoples children and you as an adult are surely not setting a good example if you are ridiculing them before they have done anything wrong if I have read this correctly and havn't got it all arse upwards, which I must admit I do occasionally.
I was five and he was six
We rode on horses made of sticks
He wore black and I wore white
He would always win the fight
Bang bang, he shot me down
Bang bang, I hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, my baby shot me down.
Seasons came and changed the time
When I grew up, I called him mine
He would always laugh and say
"Remember when we used to play?"
Bang bang, I shot you down
Bang bang, you hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, I used to shoot you down.
Music played, and people sang
Just for me, the church bells rang.
Now he's gone, I don't know why
And till this day, sometimes I cry
He didn't even say goodbye
He didn't take the time to lie.
Bang bang, he shot me down
Bang bang, I hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, my baby shot me down...
and I aint talking about a blow job 
oh! by the way that chair close to the fire is spoken for
ops: You were not too shabby yourself!!!! :twisted:
