"Parents who use video games as a babysitter shouldn't have sex to begin with."


And bloody well said too, it's about time someone did. This should be applauded, not made fun of.

Effectively what she is saying is that the children should never have been born in the first place.

Here's an admission that should lead to my Mum being pilloried in the public square: she would often sit me down in front of the television. Yes, it's true. Due to the fact that she was a single-parent, she would often enable books and the television to babysit me! I now realise that my old man's illness and consequent early death were simply chavvy tactics to enable my mum to scrounge off the state by working two jobs!

And I've just been interrupted by a phone call from ELSPA!!

More of this rant later.

Er, effectively? That's exactly what she's saying isn't it?

Anyway, I think there's a difference between your own tale of triumph over adversity, and those chav classes who use television-based entertainment as an excuse to avoid raising their kids rather than a support tool when they can only be in one place at once.
