Words Fail Me!

If you are a grandparent (as I am), one would naturally assume that most of you have done your bit in bringing up your own kids. You´ve been through all those stages, babies, the terrible 2´s, primary school, secondary school and anything after that! You´ve gained valuable experience over a period of probably 20 years or more.

Well, not only does the government think they should be teaching men about breastfeeding but now they want to teach us oldens to suck eggs.

They have just spent another £2.2million on a website to do precisely that. A desperately sad 645 people have already joined. Money well spent then!

Why Mr Balls thinks that wasting taxpayers money on teaching grandparents to do a job that has come naturally to us since we were cavemen, I can only wonder in complete bewilderment.

"BeGrand.net offers advice on changing a nappy, stopping a baby crying and getting teenagers to eat their greens. One article informs grandmothers and grandfathers how old their grandchild can be before they are left at home alone, while another lists what to look for in a good childcare provider.

Advice is also given for choosing a suitable title for a grandparent – with families told to “settle on some names that satisfy all”.

Now for the "diverse bit" ..... It continues: “If you have ethnic roots, it could be fun to try out the terms they’d have used in the old homeland, i.e. Babushka (Russian) or Abuela (Spanish) have a ring to them" (more in the express online)

I am in complete awe of the fucking downright cheek of it, to be honest. I´m sure there are many grandparents out there would rather have had some help in heating costs or perhaps that 2.2 million could have been used to give Alzheimers victims the drugs they need in England or perhaps a rise in that pension that Labour plundered!

Balls, fuck off you complete tosser!
