Will Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/4789066.stmAn interesting take on France's so-called low-stress lifestyle perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Smith Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 He says, in mitigation, that he was mentally ill. Well, who'd'a thunk it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaligoBay Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 It's good news for those who come to France in search of "family values".You don't get much more dedicated than killing your offspring's opponents! [:)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tresco Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 I used to be a Deranged Rugby Mum.I honestly didn't know how bad I was until years later when Laddio entertained everyone at a family do with wildly exagerated (errmmm...) tales of my efforts to encourage him and discourage his opponents. Tennis does seem to generate these wierd fathers - it never seems to be a mother does it?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quillan Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 I don't know, have you watched the eries Sporting Mothers and Thier Daughters (I think thats right) my god what those poor children go through. At the end of the day it's just an extension of a parents ego bought about by them being a failure as both a child and adult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deby Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 I am very surprised how competitive the British mums and dads are at my daughters' school. Who is the best reader, where are they in the class etc.... you get drawn into it quite easily. There are a million and one clubs to join too, but am not sure whether this is in the best interest of the child i.e. do they really want to do this activity or is it the burgeoning desire of the parent. I am keen myself that my daughter does extra-curricular art or drama, but that is really because I enjoy these things. I can propose and see, but I would love it if she said she wanted to do something motivated by herself, mind you she asked to learn to play the recorder so that is a good start I suppose....All I know is that my daughter is getting a good education at last and she is happy.
