God yes! Same here with the baby sitting. Sometimes baby sitting actual babies at age 13 with knowing NOTHING about babies :oops:
I think parents back then felt comfortable with giving kids responsibility and in turn the kids felt confident.
Omg I know, I babysat from about 14 and it horrified me now, I don't have children myself but I can't imagine anyone I know who does leaving theirs with a 14 year old basically stranger 🤣
 
I babysat a family of 3 kids from the age of about 13 and they were feral. I would have been better off inter railing my way round Europe. I would never leave my kids with some random teenage girl from down the road. Has that all changed now? I don’t know many families that use babysitters but the ones that do tend to use staff from the nursery so professional childcare workers rather than randoms from the estate which was the case when I was younger. How do teenage girls earn money for cider these days?
 
I found Phil tolerable 'til I saw images of him fox hunting.

Loved Location x3 in its early years. Good memories of watching with my late Gran! 😊
I have English in-laws who are quite upper crust. Even though fox hunting is now illegal (I believe) they still actively do it on the quiet. They have a country community and it's all very hush hush. I'm Australian and think this is deplorable.

I wouldn't worry about that, their Parents give them it.

You do know that there is such a thing as a mock hunt where the 'fox' is a person with a scent that the hounds follow?
It's always been around and is actually much more fun as the course is set so there are plenty of jumps.
 
I just saw someone on Twitter say that his experience of working in child protection over many years was that the likes of KA think that safeguarding rules should never be applied to them,- just everyone else, especially if they’re working class.
Sums her up perfectly. She’s is a talentless overprivileged twit. Just shows you money can’t buy intelligence and good taste.
Her son looks like he’ll turn out exactly the same😀
