Hi Ranjini : Thanks for the comment. I think to a certain all parents are guilty of this, I send my son upstairs too once in a while but only when I am in the middle of watching a movie and he is being noisy.
Times flies and before you know it they are busy with their own things so its better to enjoy them while we can.

Ha haa!
"Cookies for other children!" Indeed!

I am feeling good knowing that we have done a lot better than this with our son! 

But this is so common, isn't it?  One more thing that baffles me all the time is how parents keep banishing their kids with "go upstairs to your room". What's the harm in letting them linger around a little longer and having a little chit-chat with mom and pop.

Very good one!

Bina : Me too :-)
Thanks for the visit and comment.

Bhiku : Yes me too, I hope they learn something. Nothing wrong with helping others but it should not be to a point where people at home feel left out.

MQ : These parents probably think that by paying for this class they are doing their job as parents.

Thanks for your comment.

Navalji : Thanks, yeah these parents are not that bad but I know some parents who really don't deserve to be parents, while some people wait their lifetime for kids - I guess thats life.

KiranDet : Wonderful account from the eyes of a child, it is important to help others but that should not be at the expense of kids or wife/husband or others at home.
Hope they learn something :-)
