This is my Confrontational Story from Several weeks ago, while visiting my local Supermarket and nearby Park Lake. I now feel the need to RANT about the woman who I spoke to about her child's bad behavior! A very Confrontational event indeed!

Firstly, I walk round the lake on a concrete footpath, feeding some ducks and avoiding any Dogs that are not on a lead. I decided to sit on a wooden bench for a bit and just chill ~ Except! I'm confronted with a pile of used beer cans and Pizza boxes spread out all along the bench 😠 Which had obviously just been left there from the previous night's feast by a small group of lazy slobs!

So, before I can even sit down, I have to gather up all this rubbish and deposit it in the "Rubbish Bin", which is literally right next to the bench 😡

Ok! I stop now ⌛️ just for a second ⏳ before I continue on ranting... and show you a nice view of what my countryside normally looks like below 👀

• So now on with my Story ~ RANT!

After sitting on the bench for a while, and still feeling a bit irritated, but a bit calmer than I was! I then noticed a woman walking next to her child along the footpath. I clearly saw the Mother give her child some kind of chocolate bar or sweet maybe 🍬🍫🍭

Then as I watched with astonishment, as the child simply discarded the empty wrapper on the ground right in front of me 😲 without even looking for a bin or having a single thought of giving the wrapper back to her Mother.

I could not resist speaking to the child saying: "There is a bin just there (pointing to the large Rubbish bin) next to the bench! The child looked in my direction, but said nothing, and slowly continued walking & eating.

So I shouted as her loudly this time: "Please pick up your empty wrapper and put it in the bin please!" Still I was ignored 😡 by the child.

This time though, I got her Mother's FULL attention, but instead of her saying to the child: "please do as the man asked, and don't drop your litter!".

The Mother just starred as me saying: "Don't shout at my child", then proceeded to pick up the wrapper and put it in the bin herself. She then shouted to me: "It's just a wrapper", and walked off with her child. I said NOTHING more 😔

• So I ask you all ❓
• What example does this give to the child ❓
• That it's Okay to just drop litter❓

Or do we now live in a society that just does not care anything about teaching our children not to DROP LITTER ⁉️

Is this the future view of our countryside below ⁉️ A really horrible thought 🤔 in my opinion!
