The Good, the Bad and the Ugly in 2011

We all sadly know what 'religously checking them every hour' can lead to.

I  thought someone would come on here and make that comment. We were 80%  of the time on our balcony in the next room, and 20% of the time in the hotel lounge area. Also I cant recall ever having a ground floor room ( unlike the couple you are referring to ) we always  had  2nd or 3rd floor or more  rooms in the hotels. Sadly the couple you are referring to were positioned on the ground floor and some distance from the main block and were   extremely unfortunate to have a weirdo paodaphile or whatever monitoring their every movement.

I see no harm if children stay up late here especially while on holiday, if you look around you will find that Turkish Children are always up late in the summer. Its cooler for them to sleep later at night, that said you wont see too many Turks drinking too much alcohol while the children are with them Although some do!
I used to take my boys out of school for holidays because my husband worked shifts and had no choice at all of days off, they didnt suffer educatioon wise its only a couple of weeks and mostly it would be May June when near the end of term and the schools werent doing much more than winding down for the end of year with sports days etc,

I actually think your sitting in a hotel bar whilst your children are asleep in a hotel room be it second, third or ground floor is far worse than a little one being safely asleep in their pushchair safe and sound with their parents.
Your parenting skills leave alot to be desired in my eyes Sleuth yet you condemn those of us who have had our children out later in the evening. Adult time isn't a God given right if you choose to have a family.

Who mentioned anything about complaining about babies asleep in pushchairs Anne ??  Not me. babies sleep at all time of the day / night.   You looked at my post but you did not read. I was referring to infants running around,11pm onwards, crying, screaming, and showing off because they are overtired and should be in bed ! not babies asleep in pushchairs.

Tony, quit the wind up and drop it please  `youngsters` the term I used hardly refers to `babies` in pushchairs.

[tony jenkins]

Ok. (no harm meant)  

[Anne]

same difference Sleuth, children of any age out with their parents, be it asleep in arms, screaming or showing off as you put it are safe and sound. Left alone in a hotel room.................

Since I started this thread can I jump back in.

I should have been more specific, What I don't like to see is very young children being wheeled into bars late at night (after 12 and later) and parked while their parents knock copious amounts of alcohol over their necks for the following two or three hours.

I think it might be a good idea if we discussed that rather than personalising things.
