Hi, no, not saying kids are angels 100% of the time.. I know I wasnt... but my mum did her best to keep me in hand the times I decided to play up. Still, it usually didnt get past a stage 2 smack (after a stage 1 'Look', of course )

The point I was trying to make (long-windedly I admit, hehe) is that crew have all the time in the world for the poor parents who DO try.... we're just sick of the attitude of the ones who don't.

As long as I can see mum or dad trying to keep the kids under control, that's enough for me. If I get extra time, I'll offer to watch them or I'll ask them about their book/toys/Nintendo DS etc. I just don't like being expected to when mum and dad want to get blotto on red wine and leave their job to someone else.

Hope this clears things up a bit, I'm not a child-hater!!!
