Am I just old fashioned?

[Sue Johnson]

Hi Pronks

My first time on this forum

I personally do not believe it is anything to do with being old fashioned. It's plain, good old common sense.

At 9.20pm, a Hotel/Hydro Karaoke evening is no place for a young child to be.
A child should be tucked up warm in bed. There is 'child' time and 'adult' time and it would appear that for this family, the two are becoming blurred, irrespective of the types of songs sang.

I am watching a series on SKY TV called 'Who rules the Roost' You would not believe what small children are allowed to do by their parents and then the parents wonder why they have lost control?

So no, you were not wrong in thinking what you did....

After most of the delegates left a few of us went to the Hydro. The Hydo is quite a big hotel/motel kind of place, with different halls, restaurants a gym, swimming pool and a more informal restaurant that is on the beachfront. Quite a pleasant place to hang out.

We arrived around 9.20pm and it was karaoke time. The woman who presented the karaoke brought her daughters along. They were between 4 and 10 years old (we thought).

The sad thing was that she let them sing the adult songs. Songs like 'I'm just a love machine' another talked about 'my pretty negilee'.

In my old fashion opinion girls at that age should still sing "Ring a ring a rosies" and not suggestive grown-up song that time of the night.... they should be in bed.

What do you think?
