Sometimes kids don't listen, aren't respectful, doesn't mean their parents are chavs. You all probably made this parent feel crap. My husband was a nightmare and used to bite when he was younger. He had a registered childminder for a mother who is wonderful and she could do nothing to control him. Don't be so judgey guys.

My two (4+5 years) both love softplay and it is sometimes ruined by older kids barging and pushing. Don't get me wrong, mine can turn into Gitboy and Hellgirl in an instant, but if they do they get told! Only last week I saw Gitboy push a smaller boy out of the way, I was up on my feet, asked the the little boy if he was ok (he was) told mine that if I saw him do it one more time he was out of there, told him he was to say sorry to the little boy, and I then apologised to the smaller boys Mum. It's common decency and good manners. No one's kids are perfect but that doesn't mean you let them get away with unreasonable behaviour.

My first was a dream baby so when she was 6 months it seemed like a good idea to go straight for another one. My second is a very high needs, can't put him down, never sleeps reflux baby so now he's 6 months I'm exhausted! Lol some days go from bad to worse and jumping over the safety gates and the routine of nappies, bottles, sick, change clothes, Is relentless sometimes but like you couldn't imagine life without them and cute moments like them holding hands in their pushchair today make it all worthwhile 😊Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1941752338886548224.post-63083010796480977992016-03-14T21:05:11.485+00:002016-03-14T21:05:11.485+00:00It's the mums who sit around eating cheesy chi...It's the mums who sit around eating cheesy chips and the dads in ripped, paint covered jeans marauding through the ball pool in their builder's boots that really piss me of...

And I must applaud this very accurate account! Parents with a spine and control were a god send when it all started to kick off in 6 areas and there was one of you roaming the soft play (as a specky 15yr old at the bottom of the totem pole this happened quite a lot!). Trying to stop kids jumping in the ball pool with whilst picking each puked covered slimey ball in the area that was chundered in. When the parents used to misbehave worse than the kids running up the slides and into kids that was def a time I wished the slide would buckle or an odd slip would of made my life easier. And don't even start me on the birthday parties!!! I still to this day have never ventured back into one of these "war zones" but dread the day my now 4 month old son will have to be taken (And I've been in the military for 14yrs!). Great post!
