Spot-quiz: Which of these options would you like your teenager to suggest?
"Hi Dad, I'm going to my room to play on Xbox".
"Hi Dad, I'm going into Soho / Kings Road / Brixton / the pub to see some mates, we won't be drinking...honest".
"Hi Dad, nobody wants to hang out with me, can I hang out with you".
"Hi Dad, I'm going to Wandsworth Common, in the open, where everyone can see me, to meet some friends" (and probably attempt to buy a can of beer if we're lucky).
I think it's great we've got Wandsworth Common on our doorstep and our kids want to go there. Yup, would love them to pick up after themselves but I know I was a bit rubbish at their age too.
