One enduring myth.

[Erngath]

Then you'll have no problem answering it.

I repeat your question is insulting.

[Erngath]

Was that your answer?

Yes.

[Robittybob1]

Yes.

"It's an insulting question to put to someone who both personally and professionally has always put the interests and safety of children first."  So are you referring to yourself or someone else or parents in general?

[Mr Gray]

And three children under four should never be left alone in a strange apartment. I wonder what you think is the greater crime?

Good that you consider the remark a crime

[Robittybob1]

You'd think we would understand it now as our right to freedom of expression and not a crime.

Faithlilly knows I am a mother, grandmother and a retired teacher.
Asking which of those two "crimes" I consider the greater is insulting.

OK just for just for clarity which one was it?  Or was it neither because the question was insulting.  To call someone a pain in the arse in our country is common practice.  In fact it is a bit of a joke even.

to call maddie a pain in the arse in these circumstances is a disgrace

I know nothing about you.

It is obvious the question is difficult for you so I will respect your decision not to answer.

It's not difficult at all, really easy, so easy you shouldn't have to ask which is why it is insulting. Start a poll and I will vote there.

Why if you don't find the question difficult do you want to do it anonymously ?

Shall I answer first? I find leaving three under 4's alone in a strange apartment much worse than calling a child ' a pain in the ar*e'. Now you ?

in leaving the children there was no intent to harm.....describing a child as a pain in the arse shows an intent to be abusive

You see I wouldn't ask you such an insulting question. You say you know nothing about me but on this very thread I mention my experiences as a mother and grandmother. You obviously have not read all of the thread.
I was not the only poster who has commented on the phrase being a pain in the a~~e being applied to a crying distressed baby being disgusting. Why put your ridiculous insulting question to only me. Start a poll and I will vote and comment.

[Alfie]

WTF has Faithlilly's ridiculous question got to do with the subject of this thread anyway?

Mind you, after the 'reads-ratifies-signs' farrago expecting you to read what was written must be classed as a Great Expectation.  It's a shame about the facts when you want to indulge in PR / Marketing / Advertising.
