I am only in my 30's, does that mean i am getting old? It must do as I quite agree. It is no wonder that children (meaning teenagers and young adults) have problems with spelling these days, even when they have degree qualifications. :roll:

It seems to me that this mother is responsible for the action of her child if she never stops or even reacts to her child hurting other children. How is her child to know if he is doing wrong if noone tells him so. I would just say"NO, that is not nice" (so he knows the act he has performed is wrong...

Hi
Does this include mums with older children?
Boy of 7 amd I am in 30's.
He will probably be at school but I will need the company ( as much as I love my dog the conversation can be a little one sided) We arrive in Singapore on the east coast in 3 weeks!

Hi Angeline

I also have a 7 year old boy soon to be 8 and we are due to arrive in Singapore in May. Once we are settled it would be great to get the boys together.

Thanks for that Maneo. My little boy is one year above his age group here in Melbourne so I thought the local schools would be good for him, but it will be his 5th school 1x UK, 2 x NZ and 1x Au as we have moved around alot, so it is important to us that he settles in to a school quickly and we do n...
