is it any wonder why the country is ridiculed the way it is when people actually get paid for this tripe????

People are able to blame everything on "the country" now, some guy writes an article and it suddenly reflects on everyone :pac:

This country isn't f*cked because of mothers like this who care enough for their children to take the time to do this. It's f*cked, as is the whole world f*cked, because of people like you, who lack empathy. Really, the best use of your time was to criticize a mother's love for her child?

i'm criticising the fact that somehow, this article is what passes for journalism.
Nowhere did i say that i'm criticising the sentiment

I laughed at the last line.

SUrely the fact that thousands across the country can wholeheartedly relate to it, makes it a valid article this week?

Started to read it and brought back some memories of when I dropped my kid to school and then I remembered that after 5 minutes he told me to go home and let him be a big boy now, then stopped reading it. Meh

Obviously the OP doesn't have kids. Believe it or not bringing your first born to school for the first time is quite an emotional experience. As someone said once 'It's the point when you begin to lose your child and they begin to make their way in the world'.

So rein in your cynicism.


On the other hand it is a bit of lazy journalism and a bit soppy. Nevertheless it sums up some of the feelings many parents have albeit in a very sugary way.

I've already said i don't have kids.... it's there, 10 posts ago!!

Again (for the third time) it's not the sentiment. It's the idea that this woman has set her kid up for being made a laughing stock of when (if) his classmates find this letter in 5-10 years time...

HAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAAAA YORE MA WIPES YOUR ARSE>>>>>HAAAAHAHAAHAHA

STINKY BUM CAN'T WIPE HIS ARSE!!! HAAAAHAHAHAHAAAAAHAHAHAA

It's also the fact that this is apparently journalism these days.

But what about the diabetics that stumbled upon it, where was the consideration for them?

In fairness though, live and let live. I found it a bit twee and self-indulgent, so I stopped reading and got more enjoyment out of reading the opposing reactions here. But I understand that some parents probably enjoy it, so why not let them do just that.

Dear Son,

The world is overpopulated. Thanks to you, we can look forward to water wars, the rise of facist governments, mass immigration/emigration, disease, labour camps, and much, much more!

Mummy.

P.S. Don't forget to wipe the sh*t off yourself or something

The world isn't over populated. And you're contributing to the exact same invented problems as anyone else.

It's a bs article. If she wanted to write a letter she could have just done it without having to publish it and advertise the the country that she loves her child. Honestly, who gives a shít? Most parents love their children, she's no different.

This is just an advanced version of someone throwing "baby on board/princess on board" stickers all over their car.

The sort of person who doesn't want sports days in the school unless everyone gets a prize.
"Let's celebrate our children, competition is wrong"

Suits me fine. I'm going to teach my kid to take advantage of all these namby pamby darlings and become their new imperial overlord!

this has been happening for centuries. Why suddenly has this generation gone on the "my child is so flipping special" route. Everyones child is special - just some people just don't brag about it or want to let everyone know how "tiffany" or "tarquin" is so precious. Get over it - throw you child into school and go home - if the OP keeps this "pampering" up she will raise a spoilt brat of a kid that demands everything and gives nothing back.

I'm not as bad if I don't have kids. Or murder other people's kids. Thus reducing carbon footprint.

It's only through pieces like this that some people will remember that their kids are supposed to be starting school today. Otherwise they'd just totally forget.

Who'd have thought a thread like this would get legs.:D
