Nah, I always took my kids wherever with me, when I got the chance. Incidents involving an MP tripping over the buggy handles in First Class on the train to Newcastle, and the same MP some months later at a Bar at Westminster always make me giggle when they randomly bubble up from memory.Insanity: repeating the same actions, but expecting different results.

What sort of troll would vote 'yes' and then not bother to give an explanation as to why?
Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave JohnsonComment

No way. Children need looking after and protecting. As a parent thats your job. They let their children down.
A responsible adult needs to be within earshot of young children at all times IMO.Comment
