Double standards

20 October, 2006
Posted in: Boys, Princess

What I may not want to hear my children saying when I am old:

She loves it, really.

She’ll have stopped crying 5 minutes after we walk out the door.

It’s good for her socialisation skills; I’m sure it wouldn’t be good for her to be at home all the time.

I like to see her making friends with all those other people; it’s just a pity they all seem to catch each other’s bugs.

The staff are great; you can tell that they really like old people.

I’m glad to see that they haven’t got a television; it’s great that they’re devising games and songs for them instead.
Good God, am I paraphrasing a Cat Steven’s song here?
