Mum backs dog, chides son for pulling ears before mauling
“People are telling me I should shoot the dog, and as much as I love my son to death, I believe Noah was annoying her. I love the dog and she’s part of the family,” Ms Cottier said.
Lady, your son is TWO YEARS OLD. If it is anybody’s fault that he got bitten it’s most certainly yours. Nobody calmly tells a two year old to stop playing on the road and then turns around and say, “but I told him to stop doing it,” when he gets hit by a car. You know what normal people do – they physically remove their child from a dangerous situation. I know your dog has never shown aggressive tendencies but she’s a 50 kg dog. A two year old child doesn’t stand a chance.

I’m cooking but my kids won’t get a penny: Nigella
“I am determined that my children should have no financial security. It ruins people not having to earn money.”
I don’t know what I think about this one. On the one hand, I know I need to teach my children that they need to EARN a living but I’d hate to leave them without any security. Part of why we earn our money is FOR our children – to better their lives now and when we pass on.
Thoughts?

The second one is a bit tricky. I think what she means is that she’d like her kids to get the right work attitude, and fend for themselves or something. Which is a good thing, but I’m sure most parents have that instinct to act as a buffer and so secretly do keep saving up to leave to the kids,some form of financial safety. frankly, I’d say it’s our duty to make them hard working and self dependant ,BUT to also leave something that they can inherit or gain later, or earlier in life if necessary.
that first one’s just too strange to comment on. *rolls eyes*
the second one, that’s just going too far, in my opinion. i just erased a long comment because i realized that muslim mama pretty much said the same thing.
so, you know.
As-Salaamu ‘alaikum,
Children have a right to a certain amount of their parents’ wealth, end of story. What Nigella Lawson is doing is wrong, since for starters she did not become rich entirely because of her own talent and work, but because she is the daughter of a well-known politician (Nigel Lawson, the Chancellor of the Exchequer under Margaret Thatcher) and the wife of first a journalist and then a major advertisement mogul and art collector. There are a lot of arrogant rich people who talk about how they got rich by hard work, and ignore the role that connections and other luck factors had in their success. It is immoral for her children to not benefit from their heritage as she has from hers.
the first one is really strange,i mean how can you expect a 2 year old to understand an animal.to say the child was t fault is ridiculous.
the second one is strange.your children have the right of your money.dont give them all if you feel the need to donate but some percent is a must.its like you dont think that your children are not intelligent enough to handle money.and what if the children are young,surely than you will have to leave them money,wont you?
