I very much agree. Same as in the UK, which is why i often have a gripe about those wishing to emigrate solely "for the kids". But that's another thread altogether

Excellent article, and although blowing own trumpet here, my 16 year old has never had tantrums, screaming fits etc and has grown into a well grounded young man, with manners. I do however have a 3 year old neice who is opposite and wonder how she is like that and mine is ok!!!!!
