Mums and dads in Brighton and Hove offered parenting ‘tip sheets’ (From The Argus)

Do the tip sheets include suggestions about how to handle naughty headmasters who bully their staff and pupils?

Parenting is a skill. Those of us fortunate enough to learn it first hand, as children growing up, seem to be in a minority sadly.

The fact is that though you are faced with a child today, you really are dealing with the teenager and adult it will become.

Wow, dude - that's deep. You do know it's first thing on a Sunday morning, don't you?

Too little too late and a sheet of parenting tips is going to make little or no difference. Unfortunately our liberal elite seem to think that parents are their children's 'friends'. Wrong. A parent is in a very different position where sometimes we have to make decisions on behalf of our children that they don't like. Too many yummy mummies and equally those with a Croydon facelift are afraid of their children or certainly afraid of offending them. Children are what you make them and unfortunately so few parents seem willing or able to step up and take the responsibility for producing them in the first place.

Right, that's it - I'm going back to bed for a couple more hours. Mi brane hertz.

Remember ladies and gentlemen of Brighton. Prevention is better than cure. Contraception is the key. Ladies, too many shared with Trevor the telesales administroid or Tyler the part-time dealer do not make them Mr Right.
Men should remember to use condoms. It means never having to hear those awful words: "Dad, I want a Manchester United football strip".

They start off on the wrong foot, by having a mixed race baby as it is trendy, then a caesarian, so not have stretch marks. Then they make up a daft name as Indiana twinkletoes. They then drop the father and take up with someone else, the kid is unwanted produce from the previous relationship, they give the kid a few cans of booze to go down the park, so they can get on with their own very important social lives.

So why the stress on a mixed race baby? The problem is the parenting not the child.

They chose to have a child like a designer handbag

Good grief, you two - it's bad enough that the Argus reprints pointless press releases about Katie Price, without you turning an unrelated article into yet another story about her! Give it a rest, okay?

There's a few mum's and Dad's up at them wellend villas could do with one of these courses from what I hear, crucifying disabled people just so they get a kick of power, making up story's to new tenants to make them fearful of certain residents, even using their own children to cause havoc and mayhem in order to make these poor folk leave their homes, a kind of "Gang-Stalking", if you single mums have that much time on your hands to hurt innocent that cause you no harm then I think it's time you stopped screwing the Social Security and go out and make a descent living and provide for your dysfunctional family's.
