Guest Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 I went to get the children from school and nursery today, only to witness 2 mothers fighting outside the nursery door. And I mean proper fighting - hair pulling, punching - the kind of stuff I had to deal with in the pubs, but would never have imagined dealing with it outside a nursery door. Luckily it was before the door had been opened so the children were all still inside, unaware of the drama outside. I knew the area we live in isn't exactly the nicest in the world, but I thought the people were a bit classier than this. The worst bit of it was, after the police arrived, they told me I should have left them to fight, as if I had caused them any injuries while breaking them up, I could have been sued.......

Nicola H Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 Nothing like a good cat fight to brighten your day............ It does make you wonder what on earth they were thinking of it is such a good job the children didn't see anything........You are very brave splitting them up glad you didn't get thumped............

Guest Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 Was just getting set into a massive rant about adult behaviour when the police arrived, who took up where I left off, so I got Caity and ran! Really, how can we expect their children to behave when this is the example being set?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paola Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 Am shocked! Good job the kids did not see anything. I know if my daughter (3.5) saw anything like that going on outside her nursery she would be very upset. Well done for stepping in. Am sure I would of just stood there in a state of shock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 That's a relief! Although during my pub days I spent a large amount of time seperating Borders rugby boys, so I'm not sure I'd get any more peace down there....! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
