Update on horrible T-shirts.

[stevieannie]

Whilst at the Lincolnshire Show last week, I saw absolutely the most horrible example of the children's t-shirts that I object to:

"Saw it. Wanted it. Threw a tantrum. Got it."

I can't say how cross that makes me. I've spent the last 10 years trying to teach that throwing tantrums results in sitting down until you're quiet and not getting the thing that you're after. I had kind of hoped that I wasn't the only one.

Judging by the sales and delighted exclamations of parents holding it up to other parents, I think I may be one of the few who don't see tantrums as cute or funny.

*sigh*

There are vast numbers of parents who don't actually know how to say "no" to their children.

I, of course, will say it to anyone's children, unless I'm sure of what the parents want.
