Parenting 101

I'm not much of a gambler (just the cup pretty much) , but I vomited in my mouth this morning when I saw a mumma encouraging her two under 10's to fill out some betting slips at the TAB. Sure, I know it's the Melbourne cup, but seriously...

  1. Serious? That's beyond ridiculous.

    Mind, I used to go in the sweep at our local butcher when I was little so maybe I can't talk!

  2. There was something quite disturbing about her yelling at them for not filling them in properly...

  3. My mother has always put bets on for my sister and I for the Melbourne Cup. Since I was about 6... and I've grown up to be pretty sensible when it comes to gambling.

  4. I think the worst part is that she took children into the TAB. I'm sure not every TAB is like the one near my house (Smith St), but still ... ewwwww.

  5. I guess I was just weirded out seeing kids at the TAB.

  6. It was a day for vommiting. I vommited in my mouth when I saw Charli (from high 5 'fame') sing 'snoop doggy dooooooo-og' to Snoop at the cup. Is she on crack?
