Sometimes i think i am a bit like the Child Catcher in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang! well thats what Mrs Hotel calls me, but its that time of year when we and lots of other hotels get inundated with children, now dont get me wrong if they are well behaved i dont mind them, but sadly theese days most of them are not!.
We have a right little Brat in at the moment that insists on ordering a full breakfast then sits there playing with it for an hour and never eats any of it thats after its had about 3 different cerials that they have spat out and thrown all over the table (new linen every day) and surrounding area, then Mum will say can you take these bowls and plates away i dont think Tamara is that hungry today (WELL YOU SOULDNT HAVE LET HER BLOODY WELL HAVE AYTHING IN THE FIRST PLACE), packets of Jam Honey Marmalade sauce all opened played with then discarded without a care, and the parents say nothing after all they have a right to it, as its been paid for! yeah half bleedin price cos when you rang and booked you would not pay full price for little Tamara cos she is only little and no trouble or little Nathan who is 6 feet 6 inches tall but only 11.
It breaks my heart to see the food that is wasted and just thrown out when there are so many in the world who have nothing, then every week i will buy more expensive items knowing that i have just binned 30% off waht i got last week
You see the trouble is half the time its not the kids its the parents/Grandparents that let them get away with it the kids have taken charge in lots of cases.
In my day my parents told me what when and for how long we would eat, we never left the table unless we asked or were told to.
We always cleaned up any mess (SO WE NEVER MADE ANY) and we NEVER wasted food, it was always so hard to come by in the first place.
And this is maybe the trouble today there is no respect for anyone or anything in lots of cases the kids today have everything they want food, clothes, money, holidays, games,toys. ETC ETC dont get me wrong my kids had all that too and so i am just as bad, but when we took them away or for meals etc they were always well behaved and only had what they could eat or drink.
Roll on September

As the saying goes - "Only let your children choose what's for dinner if they're paying"
Very sad posting - sad because it's so unsurprising to learn of how kids get spoilt on holiday.
Sadder still for those parents who ARE trying to bring their kids up properly but know that they are being undermined when their kids can see the bad behaviour of others unchallenged.
It seems to be a phenomenon throughout the Western world. What on earth will THEIR kids be like?
Glad to hear its not just us that experience this phenomenon of child in charge. I feel your pain and in fact it was only last night that I was seriously considering changing our family rooms into premium doubles - I can get the same money & sometimes more for one of these as I can for a family of 4 (2 ads + 2 kids) with 1/4 of the mess, none of the noise and 1/2the aggravation. I am actually considering charging double for children - that should put a stop to them! But as the comments say its not the children its the adults - the kids are simply learning and trying the boundaries & if they are not shown what these are then yes they will think its ok to decorate the dining rooms of our hotels with cereals and jam, after all half of the adults are doing the same. Thank god for Henry Hoovers!!!
