My view is very simple. Swearing is rude. Its OK within certain context or company, but not in public, not at school, not at home. Its nothing 'grown up' or 'cool' about it. And its not neccessery what you hear from other people

Yeah, but these electronic tags are not exactly a new thing. Might seem a novelty when you look at it, but in RL they never really kicked off.

Or... Electronic tags for convicted offenders under house arrest :D How would those prevent a toddler from running into the road? I think there was a Simpsons episode about those, where Bart attaches his to a bird.

There are time and place to play freely. After my 3yo took off at an airport, i find harness a useful thing. Those techy things via smartphones... Pfff imagine battery dies, gets broken, child falls over and smashes the thing...

My DS2 likes to read, however, DS1 does not. I managed to get him interested in comic books, but thats it

Rule no.1 -- don't take things to school/yard/playground which you don't want to share or lose. At that age i was on the opposite end -- if i really fancied something that my friends had that i couldn't, i sort of made clear what sort of birthday present i would like, or come up with some...

Welcome :)

I think its mysogynistic to suggest that females should be restricted to wear comfortable clothing or pursuing certain activities because they need to be 'protected'.

Sorry, but very first post by a brand new user, and its penis related -- seems suspicious. We have this sort of 'jokers' every now and then.

I smell a troll

I'm not an expert, but it gives kids more freedom, plus bells and whistles of private education. If you can afford it, go for it.

Alternative schooling is good, if there is continuity. If a child goes to a 'cool' primary, then has to transfer to a mainstream secondary -- it can be very difficult.

Would a bank issue a credit card to a 16yo? There's your answer.

No it is not. I was told off at the bank when i mentioned that i and my husband share our pin numbers.

Scars? I'd notify Social Services. Father is a criminal.
