Accountability

[Mackemansj1]

Was thinking back to when I was growing up as a kid in the 80s, I’d come home and tell me ma about getting wrong at school or being in a fight or something and her first response was always “what did you do?” Now don’t get me wrong me ma would fight for me to death but she also knew I wasn’t a little angel.

These days you see too many parents do the exact opposite, their little angel can do no wrong and if they did it was someone else’s fault. You see it on social media all the time in news stories about clear wrong uns doing bad shit. Always filled with family members or friends saying it wasn’t them you don’t know the full story etc etc. Accountability has completely gone from our society these days, from politicians to kids, no one holds their hands up or admits they fucked up or did wrong, everyone is a victim of some sort.

My mate’s an accountant. He’s nice but quite boring.

There's a post doing the rounds on FB this morning from a mother kicking off about her son being reprimanded for taking part in the riot in Southampton the other night.

Nothing is his fault , obviously.

It's Starmers fault and the police

I blame Insurance companies. Any policy will tell you, "Do not accept liability", even if you were at fault, if you have a bump.

Deal with it all the time.

Complaints about suspending students and the parent rocks up believing their little angel hasn’t done anything wrong.

Had one parent last week kick off with the school receptionist and demanded to speak to me for suspending their kid as apparently the member of staff must have provoked their child into calling the maths a teacher a “daft c#nt” and threaten to knock him out

All for having the audacity to tell him to shut up disrupting the class numerous times.

Poor parenting.
