It's just confidence mate. He will get there, especially if he is cracking 20+ runs in an innings. They will soon start to listen to him.
Yeah, think you are right. He played an u11 game on Sunday and asked his dad to take him fair 8.30am so he could have an hour in the Then after the game 4/5 stopped to go back to the nets and it was 7.30pm when ge got picked up. He was knackered when he was dropped off at ours next morning for me to take him to school <laugh>
He has a great coach, who wad part of the England Over 50 team that won the World Cup last year, so is in good hands.:emoticon-0100-smile
 
Our daughter is a Spa Therapist at Ramside Hall. She was, unwittingly, entered into a National competition; her specialty is Spa Facial Treatment. She has made the top seven and has, this week, just had her final treatment judged. If she is selected in the top three she will be going to a presentation ceremony in Windsor....fingers crossed but whatever the outcome, we are super proud parents

Found out earlier today the most fantastic news, daughter is now a National finalist. To say we are super proud is an understatement.

Secondly, as a 20 year old, her and her boyfriend have been in the process of buying their first new home. They heard yesterday that their completion date is middle if next month, her head is screwed on for such a young lady.

Great news mate, pass on our congratulations please.
 
Was at biddick academy's end of year awards ceremony last night - eldest daughter was called up on stage due to her being part of the netball team - she's never played before but by the end of their season she was playing a couple of years above her school year. Quite proud as shes never really been sporty but shes got stuck in this year, especially after having issues with bullying.
 
I have only just found this thread and feel that I should highlight my eldest daughter whom I am extremely proud of as she has, in my opinion, one of the worlds hardest jobs.

Her job title is Senior Fast Track Palliative Care Nurse. In others words she is effectively the Angel of Death and you really do not want to meet her in her professional capacity. She has been doing this for about 3 years now and how she gets up each day and goes to work is beyond me - despite this she is a sunny and positive personality and is raising two fantastic grandchildren. She has never supported SAFC though which may account for her sunny personality.

that must be such a difficult job. I’m genuinely in awe of people who can do this and still remain cheery.
Although your daughter loses some brownie points for not following the lads!
 
Very rare that I do this but I have admit my 5 kids are tremendous.
My oldest is just about to finish his chartered accountancy.
My middle two, both at university. One just finished her second year at medical school after resitting the year after she found out she has a cyst on her brain.
Her twin brother has just completed his teaching degree and he has just got a job at Easington Comp as a Physics teacher. His graduation is at the Stadium of Light next month.
My youngest twin daughters are doing fantastic at Durham sixth form. Both are going to university, one doing engineering and the other is wanting to be a optometrist.
They must take after their mother
 
The proud father of four girls.
They are all kind and caring human beings and a joy to me.
All l could wish for. :emoticon-0152-heart:emoticon-0152-heart:emoticon-0152-heart:emoticon-0152-heart
and that's the most important thing at the end of the day. Whether anyone's kids achieve anything special or not, if they're nice people who are a pleasure to be around, then the parents have done a good job and should be proud.
 
My son is knocking on 20. He works for a pet food shop, makes very good money (for his age) and brings gifts in for his little sister when he gets paid. He’s not a teacher, paramedic, dr etc, but I’m very proud of him all the same. I adopted him when he was 8 (he’s biologically my wife’s) but you’d never think step dad! We are father and son.
