Thats very true Chas, my son is 41, my eldest daughter is nearly 50, but they will always be my "Babies". A good parent is there for their kids until we parents die.
However, I well remember the two daughters were always causing more "Troubles" (In the house) than my son did.
Today, they blame their Hormones !!
Just a thought, Women in the menopause blame their hormones, but it's not accepted that men do also.

-It would appear this lad refused to return with his family and did a runner from the hotel, the family and hotel staff couldn't find him and rightly or wrongly took the decision to leave and catch their flights.
Difficult decision either way, but at 17 he is certainly old enough to realise the consequences of his actions.

-Charlie if they handed out a bit of dosh I would have played the child. I have three stepsons in their 50's and I am now considered their Dad and still I get the problems from all angles.:D

-If I had tried this at 17, I still would have been on the bus. I probably wouldn't have been conscious, but my ar*e would have been on the bus!

-I strongly believe a swift kick up the jacksey or a few wacks round the ear cures ADHD,probably administered by their peers solved it. Bully's were just a factor in everyday school life. The sniveling brats who complain about it these day should man up.Autistic where did this come from?

-Not splitting hairs but I THINK autism is a clinically proven condition, whereas all these other variations are simply behavioural. A big difference, similar to food allergies, a potentially serious but limited problem, and food intolerance which is often imagined.

Paul, Parents can't give their kids what WE used to get, as they can get their parents in a whole lot of SH*te with the Authorities these days.
Didn't do me any harm though.as I must have "Asked" for it

-Please try to forget that I read the Grauniad - this is purely personal. I have a niece who is severely autistic. She cannot speak beyond occasional half-formed words, she cannot control her bowel movements. She has to be carried everywhere and sometimes she panics in new or unexpected situations and hits out violently in her terror.
This will not be cured by a good slap.

-For some people violence is the perfect answer, obviously.

-Beermat I have a Step grandson who has a mind of a newborn baby His Mother looked after him until he was 18 She then developed breast cancer which hopefully she has beaten. Her son is now in care since that time he is now 26 and screams and waves his arms and legs about, Is he in pain,who knows all I know is he gets infections and fits which are stabilized. Would it be more of a kindness to let him pass I don't know. Cost wise it costs £125.000 a year to keep him in what,torment? I don't know the answer.
