Don't you have "tags" or something.
It's not something I do personally, can you explain why it's not possible because I think they mentioned something about that at the talk we had at my daughter's school about online safety.Not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can be counted. Einstein0 -
Well the law says a 5 year old can get !!!!ed, and a 17 year old can go be slaughtered for oil, but same 17 year old can't play a harmless game.
Thank god for these rules!I'm not bad at golf, I just get better value for money when I take more shots!0 -
Well I've let my boy have a sip of my beer and his reaction was "bleuurrrgghh". Don't think I've got anything to worry about for a while yet...
Mine still doesn't like ale or Bitter and he's 22!
I forgot to say he and I both agree with you about GTA. Not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can be counted. Einstein0 -

That's the similarity.
The law stops the child from doing it for themselves so the helpful parent facilitates it.
Never mind what the government, the police, the social workers, the teachers and most parents think, they think it's OK.
But thats the thing isnt it?
No body, apart from us, know what our child is capable of handling. Same as no body, apart from ME, knows what IM capable of handling. use discretion for goodness sakes.You lied to me Edward. There IS a Swansea. And other places.....

I do the same with my son. Ive always offered him sips of wine and beer. But I dont let him drink coke. And so his 'big thing' now is that when he reaches 18, he wants to go to nightclubs and drink Pepsi all night....You lied to me Edward. There IS a Swansea. And other places.....

Without meaning to be rude, I don't think some parents care enough, or have enough understanding of the issues, to be in charge of this decision.0 -
So take it away from ALL parents?I'm not bad at golf, I just get better value for money when I take more shots!0
