Hi,
I'm a young (26) Scottish lassie studying Mechanical Engineering at a Uni on the east coast. I'm engaged to a complete nutter who has an ebay account to buy crap with and a Harley Davidson. :)
I signed up here to reply to something, and then forgot. I've been reading for a few years now but dont feel I have the talent required to post anything. I'm also going into my final year, so I've got to stop coming here and actually start doing some work... :(

Parents who do not
Parents think it's acceptable not to discipline their children, as "that's what school is for". No it's not. You had them, you care for them or I will shout at them for kicking me in the supermarket/playing chicken/throwing stones at my car...
Parents who expect the school to sort out all the health problems the child has, including nits and tapeworms... (My aunt's a school nurse. Some of the stories she comes out with are terrifying.)
Parents who think it's acceptable to encourage their children to smoke and drink by buying them cigarettes and buckfast to take out to the local carpark with their mates, and then think nothing of their darlings coming home in the back of a police car or taken to hospital with alcohol poisoning.
Fair play to the parents who allow supervised drinking in their house and clear up after their children, but they are few and far between.
Parents who, during school holidays, kick the 7, 8 or 9 year old out first thing, without a key, and don't expect to see them again till later at night and then the mother spends most of the evening standing on the doorstep screaming their child's name, while the child is down the road in a friend's house playing the Xbox/WII/Playstation after having been fed lunch and tea. (By aforementioned pleasant parents.)
I live near Edinburgh and this has all happened within the last 6 months...
