Torn between feeling sorry that his mum can’t be bothered and feeling that I also can’t be bothered.

I guess we all have bad days so I was trying to explain to him that it’s not nice to be horrible to people. I hear myself say “if you’re horrible then no one will be your friend, and horrible people can’t go and do nice things” and as I say this I just think, well, that’s not true at all is it? People who are horrible seem to do okay as far as I can tell… just as people who are ‘nice’ seem to have horrible things happen to them. It seems sad telling him this black and white view of the world when I know that over time people will undoubtedly come along and fill in the grey areas for him…</p>http://www.facebegone.co.uk/post/750856074http://www.facebegone.co.uk/post/750856074Tue, 29 Jun 2010 21:27:19 +0100<object width="400" height="254"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/fZa7hU6tP_s&rel=0&egm=0&showinfo=0&fs=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/fZa7hU6tP_s&rel=0&egm=0&showinfo=0&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="254" allowFullScreen="true" wmode="transparent"></embed></object><br/><br/><p> Dad Rap… quite funny</p>http://www.facebegone.co.uk/post/739178253http://www.facebegone.co.uk/post/739178253Sat, 26 Jun 2010 20:17:00 +0100“Can the cleaner please go to aisle 43… spillage.”<br/><br/> -
