It is not so much the ones that caused me trouble, more the ones that are causing trouble. That huge majority which your mum remembers is unfortunately dwindling, as is the quality of parenting.
Sorry if I offended - everyone has a valid point to make, but being at the sharp end can intensify ones reactions. That and sitting here writing reports - hence the quick responses! Should really be concentrating. Every negative must have 2 positives, every negative must have 2 positives., every.....

Children children? Yes.
