Court Out Again – Partington’s Try to Stay Out of jail

Brett, , , , , 0 comment

Just spent the morning in court! Don’t panic…I just took my 12yo son Max in to watch some cases being heard in relation to drink driving, meth amphetamines, police pursuits etc…as a “learning experience”. I highly recommend anyone with teenage kids to take them in and watch the process. Max learnt so much in an hour that he could write a novel about it, and will never drink and drive.

Costanza Rant of the Week : ‘Pass the Parcel’ at children’s parties needs to be OVERHAULED! That’s right, I said it!….no one has had the guts to say it till now, but as parents we have lost it!!! When preparing the game ‘pass the parcel’ the modern parent now places a chocolate in every wrapping layer, so everyone wins a prize. This is because it is all about our own child’s feelings and overprotective parenting. The result is that once each child gets their chocolate after each layer is unwrapped,…
