What I notice when in the UK is that there is more likelihood of kids chucking vile tantrums in supermarkets. It is a rare thing here (note I didn't say it never happens). Our Turkish neighbours grandson seems to think he can chuck a purple fit whenever something happens that doesn't suit him. I think his Mum has no control over him. However, his Nan puts him in his place and tells him to go off and do weeding amongst the crops, LOL.
I do think children in Turkey are more likely to be cruel to animals. I suppose they are not being told kindness to animals by their parents. But, I am not saying I feel this is general, just more likely. Times are changing though (I wish it would change faster than it is). In short, I feel kids here ARE lovely, with some exceptions. And I am glad I have good neighbours because it must be a nightmare to have badly behaved kids living round you and parents who condone it. But that applies in the UK too.....
