I think I spotted you, Yosemite Sam lookalike right?

You came a stompin' out, paused, did a double take and rubbed your eyes, then went back in rubbed your eyes once more and walked out again muttering something about 'young uns and womenfolk'.

[Weegee]

I have to say that I used to feel the same was as the poster on this thread...till I became

a parent.

Though i do stil symphatise with him...can see how it winds people up!

[hislordship]

Actually, I said 'How is it that it's a fucking weekday, and I still can't get a fucking seat to have a fucking coffee in this fucking coffee shop. Lazy fucking mums. Fucking that's why. Lazy fucking mums.'

I do recognize that I have an little anger problem before I have my coffee, so sorry mums. Not your fault.

[Asset]

so, mums having a coffee are 'lazy', you having a coffee are what? something that rhymes with banker I'll warrant

Well, all I can say is we must be lucky to live in a place like East Dulwich if the worst people have to cope with is finding their way round the odd buggy and misbehaved child.

I've no plans to ever have a family, but I like the fact East Dulwich is a family area, gives me some sense of security that its a generally safe area, and means it's not too noisy and I can get a good night's sleep.

So, every once in a while I have to step out of my way on Lordship Lane to get past a buggy. Big deal, the fact other people are having kids means there will be people out working funding the NHS when I am old and need it!

In the grand scheme of things to worry about, this really doesn't register.

I see kids everywhere, even outside of Dulwich...What IS the world coming to?!!::o

I've got kids( now teenagers) and I have to say I'm glad that there are enough decent Bars, Cafes and Restaurants ][[/i]on our doorstep, that can keep them hopefully entertained locally when they're old enough to go out at night. At least some of the time.[/i]

Thank you James , for actually seeing the point I was trying to make , I see it as a valued one as well . I have observed many a situation and shaken my head in dismay . For example bus journeys , when i was a child we were asked to vacate our seats for adults , nowadays the mother - parent stands and lets the child sit down , I would make my child stand up nd offer a seat to an adult , and if i wanted my child safe they would sit on my knee like we all did . urgh ! I cannot belie ve the responses , altho it makes me laugh that most have been about the acceess ways of the butchers ! xx see you have made me move my rant onto buses , I am nt a hater of children , i just dislike the way 30 somethings pander to their offspring , who is the boss here ?

[betsy555]

i like miserable gits ! more interesting than being aa bland somebody......

[betsy555]

here bloody here ! i wish i could have vocalised better ! .....

[darlin']

I wish I was as good a parent as I was before I had children!

...Eek, can I say, I'm a childless 'early' 30-something, and I quite living among young families in ED -- they always look quite happy and content. I'm doing a phd at King's and it makes me feel pretty settled -- however, it's good to have younger urbanites to keep the place young and trendy ;p *I count myself in that band of course*

Hi All

I live in Chislehurst which is a bit like ED but without the drug dealing and gun crime, it also has a Cafe Nero which is stuffed full of Yummies and three wheel prams so i think the problem is obviously Cafe Nero it must attract them like bees to honey. The solution for all the peeps who cant stand the Yummies or their sprogs is find a place that has no hope of a Nero opening and move there.

And on that high note I am moving this to the Lounge. There are other threads discussing children and babies in East Dulwich.

What a nice comment - well said - too many people slag off young families in ED but even the younger people will most likely be parents some time, so its nice to hear someone who does not yet have children saying something positive. And I agree most people in ED with young children do seem happy, and most importantly the children seem happy. (not like when I was young, we were all miserable).
