Just about started a girl-on-girl rumble today!

[mstriumph]

For me I think it is something about Johnsonville in general!

motha fuckerz all of them!!!!

i used to live in churton park - does that count?

[mstriumph]

When my kids were small we used harnesses. You could lead 3 or 4 around safely. Also kept them under control inside. Never see them used these days.

........... me too - useful things, those harnesses .... wonder WHY they aren't used any more?

[Jez]

not allowed to use those harnesses because apparently its child abuse ... my mother told me stories of old ladies having a go at her for wlaking me round town like i was a dog ... how close to the truth they were

also i couldnt find any to buy in new zealand, so i got the mother-in-law to send one over from Japan ... yet to have a child hit by anything harder than a brother/sister :cheer:

Yeah my parents used one on me...mum reckons I was too friendly and would run off and make friends with strangers the minute her back was turned....

[Mom]

c. other.

If "other", please explain...

They are an irrelevant item of annoyance when looking in your rear view mirror, bet they create a good little blindspot too in some circumstances. Emergency services thoroughly check wrecks, so no littlies get left in wreckage. Apparently it happened in the states and this idea was "born" so to speak.

Where is Churton Park? This is the second time in as many days I have seen the name...forgive my ignorance...

PS, there is a woman here in Warkworth that used reigns on her son, she said it was simply to prevent him from killing himself... Bit of a ginga terror he was

Some things never change...

[Number One]

Some things never change...

Yeah although now I am more likely to stand strangers up and tell them off especially when they park inappropriately!!!

Went out with hubby today and this woman parked next to us...ON A DRIVEWAY FFS...I had a headache which makes me even more bitchy than normal and he just looked at me, grabbed my hand and walked me across the road...saying it's ok darling...just leave it...it's not worth it....

He's such a honey

A new Motorcycle Child Safety Seat has been introduced ...... but where do you hang that little sign...???

apparently I must spread myself...

[Trudes]

As an unknowing (some may say ignorant) mere male, could some with a higher understanding of all things relating to children, explain the purpose of those little signs put in the back windows of cars (usually wagons or peoplemovers). You know the ones..."Baby on Board".

Is it so.
a. we dont intentionally run into them.
b. we treat them any more differently than any other vehicle on the road.
c. other.

If "other", please explain...

c. It's to warn you that the driver is probably being screamed at or nagged at so to steer clear of that vehicle as they are likely to swerve or stop suddenly as the driver changes Wiggles CDs or changes a nappy.

My mum used one on me because of the following quote by miss Number one. She actually used to tie me up outside too to parking-meters!!

Yeah my parents used one on me...mum reckons I was too friendly and would run off and make friends with strangers the minute her back was turned....

Oh fuck!! So did I!!! No wonder we are such good friends!! I had a "special friend" in 3 or 4 of the shops my mum used to regularly shop at. One used to take me to the smoko room and feed me chocolate biscuits and have tea with me, another used to take me up and down for ages in the elevator (you know the old ones with the funny doors that you had to close, they had a person who operated that!) and another that used to rig the mechanical horse outside for me to ride. Those were the days eh!
