Hang on, what was it now. I had it this morning.
Oh yes.
You know these things that go round the internet, especially on Facebook, those texts about how non-coddled us auld people were growing up - we cycled without helmets, we stayed out all hours, we played in the streets etc etc. Well, I'll confess to hitting the like button on a few of them in the past, but this morning I suddenly got majorly annoyed, because what the hell is the point? Frankly, a lot of people spreading these texts would NEVER raise their own kids that way EVER. The street lights were our curfew? If you're, say, American, and you knew this was the rule for one of your neighbour's children I'd bet you'd ring the Social Services on them.
Put your money where your mouth is or accept that you ARE the nanny state.
