School nurses are receiving special training to deal with increasing numbers of pupils who are still in nappies.Well, today's crop of young adults are already emotionally incontinent. I suppose we can look forward to a crop of youngsters who are actually incontinent to boot...
It doesn't sound good either way.
ReplyDeleteNo, it doesn't indeed...
ReplyDeletearn't nappies disposable or am I showing my age?
ReplyDeleteYes, and no.
ReplyDeleteOMG. Primary school?
ReplyDeleteI couldn't wait to get mine "trained", nappies are expensive and a pain!
What are parents doing these days? Aren't they interacting with their kids?
My daughter must be unusual then! She spends most of the day chatting, playing and generally enjoying her daughter!
"What are parents doing these days? Aren't they interacting with their kids?"
ReplyDeleteNo. It seems some of them are going to considerable lengths not to interact with their children in any meaningful way.
The message 'You owe yourself 'you' time..' seems to have got through a little too well..
Wow! Too busy to potty train your children? If so, they're too busy to have children. Did they learn all their skills from minders and teachers?
ReplyDeleteWhat's the point of having kids?
When I got to the point where the parents, having not potty trained their children, have put the kids in a situation of having to have their nappies changed in school-- so another member of staff has to be there to be sure no abuse has occurred, I got to the banging my head on my desk.
ReplyDeleteWhat's also intriguing is that this isn't so much negligence as aerie-faerie twats who think you leave such basics "until the child is ready". You can imagine them sitting there having these earnest discussions with little Jemima Tinkerbell about how she feels about her poo.
OT

So if the kids have used the nappies then they can put another one on. Preferably after disposing of the used one, right? I am feeling terribly old today. What is the teacher/nurse thing for?
ReplyDeletebtw JuliaM, not sure about your yes and no relpy.
ReplyDeleteWhat are you saying yes to?
sorry, I should explain there were no teachers or nurses at my school just bigger boys until I got to be as big as them and then they gave me a gun and a plane to fly so I must have skipped the poo lesson
ReplyDeleteoh, last comment for now, does anyone know the point of kids.
ReplyDeletea decent sports car; about £50K
a house; £100K or more
a kid, on benefits, 0-18, for food, clothing, housing and education; lots.
A woman walked into the Dr's office with her husband. The Dr said I must do some tests and need a sample of number 1, number 2 and sperm. The woman said to her husband 'take of your pants'.
ReplyDelete"What's also intriguing is that this isn't so much negligence as aerie-faerie twats who think you leave such basics "until the child is ready"."
ReplyDeleteIndeed. Which, with modern stay dry nappies, can take much longer than it used to, as they aren't uncomfortable when wet, or so an expert claimed on the radio yesterday.
"Btw JuliaM, not sure about your yes and no relpy"
Yes, nappies are disposable. No, you're not showing your age.
"does anyone know the point of kids."
They used to. They don't seem to now, regarding them as another disposal accessory to be gained on a whim...
"OT"
ReplyDeleteOh, good grief!
OT? did you not like my joke? if so, terribly sorry
ReplyDeleteGood point about disposable children when were they invented again?
No, that was directed at AC1's example of PCSO controlfreakery.
ReplyDeleteagain, sorry you didn't like my joke
ReplyDelete@Sue:
ReplyDelete"What are parents doing these days? Aren't they interacting with their kids?"
Unless there's Parenting on X-box or Nintento DS, the answer is no.
Maybe someone will create an iPhone app for it?
ReplyDeleteThey did, it was called 'shake the baby' If a child can unwrap an iPhone for Christmas it can put a nappy on its head, arse where ever. If people want to wear nappies into thier adulthood who cares!
ReplyDeleteWalking around in shit filled pants for a day is not going to kill a child. It might just be the encouragement that child needs to find a way of cleaning itself up and changing into something else.
