It's not unfair at all. They don't know you and you don't know them.

I'm just adding to the sum knowledge of mankind.

If I just save one child's life, my efforts on here will have been worth it.

But that's another matter.
Gravitas, you will find that most people who take youngsters the age of your grandson on holiday, have their children in buggies... they don't rely on them walking far at that age. Take them to the beach, sit them on the sand to play and they will will most likely get up and toddle around at their pace not the pace that some adults want them to.

Are you saying you believe your grandchild's life to be in danger?

You weren't saving his life, you seemed to be complaining that his father wasn't doing enough to teach him how to walk, whilst his mother was working and studying.

I wouldn't worry about the sum knowledge of mankind, previous generations have managed without the assistance of Gravitas!

Re: My Grandson Started Walking Three Days Ago But...

Please, Master Gravitas (Spoken in a servile manner whilst my hands are clasped to my chest because l am lower clarss) Please may, l comment?

Do you not think your daughter and her husband breathe a huge sigh of relief when you’re going out of their front door?
Aren’t they too busy filling in forms to emigrate to Australia to get away from you, rather than supervise your grandson’s walking ability?
