yeh there’s ups n downs but I have loved the process the growth from it for you as a man cannot be purchased in any other way and it’s an essential growth for you to become the best version of yourself hence why in my experience adults that have or are passing their time for parenting usually lack a certain type of understanding of the world and seem of the selfish type with limited thoughts.
I actually love these days don’t quite understand people who want it to be sunny everyday ****in daft
Some wise words there, my friend. It's also quite a sobering and even scarey experience - someone else's happiness and well being becoming more important to you than your own.
I enjoyed it when they were little, gave up my job to bring my daughter up which was brilliant and then footy with the boys and all the travelling that came with that and my oldest. Then they get older and should **** off and buy a house.
Yeah love dry autumn and winter days when you can go out in the cold. Will do that tonight as soon as I finish work.
Once the kid can write, get them to sign an agreement that they leave home at a reasonable age and don't bang on about house prices as if they are right first generation to struggle to buy a house of their own.
****ing loads of them! It's said baby/toddler stage is best, but then you are having to look after them 24/7 so you have no personal time. Then as they get a bit older and are in all sorts of clubs, you take them and sit there and then take them somewhere else or can't leave them in the house, so still no personal free/leisure time. I'm now at three teenagers stage, and everyone says they are a pain in the arse. But at least I can leave them in the house. At least I can can go off and play golf and not have to worry about them. I can go for a pint with my eldest. I kind of like the bit where they are older and independent. They want lifts everywhere, but every so often they can get the ****ing bus. It's great though, no doubt.
Thanks for the congrats guys So in conclusion it's great for a bit, then get out legal documents and force them out the house as soon as possible Making notes
I hate leaving the boys at home both have always had this obsession with as soon as we leave all the mates come around and take over the house and garden. The youngest had a bunch of twats as friends as well. The oldest isn't like this anymore but when he wanted to do it the lads were a nice bunch but loads of them, I'd come home and there would be a dozen or so hanging around the house.
me too that’s my plan tonight get wrapped up and take a stroll with my gal…she was one of them dickheds who always complained unless sunny I goes you don’t know how to enrich your soul bitch you won’t last with me she gets it now appreciates how vital it is for our inner animal
You can see how modern day kids are a mess from the last few pages, everyone wants to be a great dad and do everything for the little ****ers no wonder they can't manage to move out and get on with life.
My biggest fear, and it is ****ing huge, is phone use and social media. It will destroy children. My eldest seems to have evaded it, but my two younger ones go down some rabbit holes, and it's hard to stop.
Bro we all know you’ve been wanting your lad out for years maybe you’re the pussy who can’t manage it?
Yeah plays a huge part in kids lives now. We were laughing at a family in the pub the other day, husband, wife and older teen all sat there on their phones and didn't look up or interact with each other for about 20 minutes.
My daughter has managed it straight after uni but the oldest boy is nowhere near it. The youngest is 18 next month but he's another mammy's boy you get a lot of them in South Wales.
The parents are setting a bad precedent there by doing that. I get it kids get bored with adult conversation and want to play on their phone for a bit, but bring them back into the convo and limit phone use. Don't sit there as a couple isolated on your phone. Monkey see, monkey do init .
