I am always in the wrong place at the wrong time! Two young mothers were arguing and then suddenly they were fighting, pushing into the other parents, swearing and literally punching each other hard in the face! I had never seen women fighting like this before - and in front of the children arriving at school. My friend tried to break it up but I dragged her away quickly before they hit us! It is a sad sign of what is happening to my area and our country. What sort of example are these women setting for their children. Our school used to be somewhere you were proud to send your children. |

There were rumours one of the mothers is on drugs although you don't really know whether it is the truth or not. Her daughter is a nightmare - terrorises the other children in the class! |

I know everyone goes through hard times sometimes and I have had to have unemployment benefit myself in the past but these people get so much money for their children it doesn't pay them to work. They get pregnant at 16 and they are given a house and an income and they don't have to work for it. You can't blame them really. But then some of them "drag up" the children. There was a 3 year old in nursery last year using the F word - I really don't want my boys coming home using bad language. |
