Morning.

Slow down! It's only Friday ...

Someone sounds almost giddy

Afternoon

My son has three of his friends round for tea and I can't fooking stand any of the disobedient little turds. I'm struggling to hold it together. Someone should come round and hide all my knives.

sounds bad - what you need to do is go into another room and get your headphones on and listen to Neil Young at full blast - always works for me ! - preferably with an acoholic beverage in close proximity....

I'm gonna be hitting the pop as soon as they go, trust me. I mean, if a child gets to five years of age and can't even say 'thank you' when they've been given something, it's a sorry state of affairs.

Agreed. It really isn't that difficult it is.

You wouldn't think so, but polite children at my son's school seem to be the exception rather than the norm. It really winds me up, actually.

I blame the parents (that old chestnut

).

I'm deriving from your comments that your son isn't one of those without manners and sadly, to some degree, that's all you can influence with any real consistency.

He certainly isn't. I've drummed it into him from an early age, along with the concept of doing as he's asked by a responsible adult, and respecting other people's homes/belongings.
