Parents warned that ill-fitting shoes can damage children

Apparently, parents should be making sure their chidren's shoes fit properly, and have their feet measured regularly - as children are, allegedly, *growing*.

Parenting licence. You know it makes sense...

As a dad, the thing that bugs me most about modern parents is that they're a bunch of ignorant cunts that haven't even bothered to RTFM.

These days you get given a free book, _Birth to Five_, when you sprog. It has in it virtually all the information you need as a parent for the first five years (I am a bit worried 'cos Kyle is going to be five in a week, and I feel I should then be issued with a _Five to Ten_ manual). Healthy eating? Getting feet checked? Play? Education? Illness? Toilet training? It's all in there, in user-friendly language, with pictures and everything.
