give me a piggin' break

Oh dear;

"But it reversed its stance after a parent complained that her daughter had refused to wear a seatbelt because Peppa did not."

What a pathetic example of 'parenting'. I put the word parenting in quotes because this person clearly has no idea what the word means, how to apply it, how to take responsibility for themselves or their child, how to provide their child with clear direction and boundaries and, in short, should not be allowed within 100 yards of a child.

Why is it so difficult for people to take responsibilty for anything these days ?

The slightest sign of minor difficulty and people are complaining to various 'watchdogs', bleating on that 'the government should bail us out' and basically doing nothing about the situation apart from blaming anyone and everything else.

And people / corporations pander to this !

Did no-one have the spine to stand up to this idiot and say 'no' ?

Why can no-one say 'no' to anyone anymore ? (and that includes parents to their children)

If the worst of your problems is that you can't bring yourself to insist that your child should put a seatbelt on 'because a cartoon pig doesn't' then you have no problems at all and you are a despicable waste of molecules in the continuum of human existence.

Pathetic.

Can I suggest that you visit the Oxfam site below to get a sense of perspective and respond to people with real problems.
