Mum's the word: Oh, for the good old days when children listened to parents

I feel something that comes up time and time again in conversations with friends of mine who are parents is the feeling our kids get away with a lot more than we ever did when we were younger.

This is often expressed outside school when we nearly lose our voices calling our kids to hurry up and come along as we have to fecking get to Aldi and they run around completely ignoring our pleas like they are the ones in control. And the desperate thing is that they kinda are.
