Mauled makes a good point there.
Its my granddaughters birthday next week, so "we" bought her a wooden kitchen. I say we, the missus ordered it before I saw the bloody price.
End of it?
No.
Last night, 3 hours, assembling the ****ing thing. You bought it, you assemble it love, says I. You're the man says she. So putting the ****ing thing together til 0130 last night I was.
Like Yoda apparently, but with far less Jedi skills.
Its great quality, and solid, but I hate flat pack type stuff and vowed a few years back, no more.
Over the years I think I've spent months assembling stuff. Right from nursery stuff to even now, some 25 years after my eldest was born.
Expect no gratitude, it's your responsibility as a man.
Expect no praise, only criticism that its taking so long, or that despite you reading the instructions and following them EXACTLY it's not right.
If it wobbles, it's your fault. If it's scratched, thats you too. Any problems at all, you, you're to blame.
That said, it's worth it eventually, they'll have kids of their own, and you can reap your own revenge on them. It's a long wait but, its soooo worth it.

Well congratulations, I just hope you are not to name the new addition after a household product. My mother told me after having our first, enjoy them now as the bigger they get the problems just get bigger. She was right.
Congratulations mate!
I think you should name it after one of Rudi's many other names, I'll let you decide which one!
ahhh the joys of putting together kids toys, been through it my own, and now going through it with the grandkids stuff, had one of them plastic play houses once, fk me it would have been easier building a proper house, christmas eve turned into christmas morning, before i finished the ****er, only to be woken after three hours sleep to be shown the playhouse by them that father christmas had brought...... wish the ****er would have put it together first before pissing off ! memories to cherish though
Congratulations mate. It's a lot worse than that though. Then again it's the best thing you will ever do x

Welcome to the world of fatherhood.
Only one thing tops it. Grandfatherhood.

Shatoon for a girl and Clive for a boy!
Although Photoshop is a personal favourite of mine!
Actually to be fair my daughters are great, they occasionally take us out for a meal, and even pay
They're both good company, and I get on with the eldest's husband and the youngest's boyfriend. (Had a fine time with both of them on the husband to be's stag night)
.......however it will take you around 25 - 30 years to get to this stage!
Oh and by the way you'll never stop worrying about them. I was bollocking my 30 year old daughter only last week for not checking in quick enough when she was in Turkey for work).

I actually enjoyed putting the toys together, more than the act of giving them.
Particularly Scalextric.

nah mate it's fine, first 6 months you'll hardly do anything as they sleep and breast feed most of the time, my little one going to be 2 in September, I still play football sat afternoon and tues night and gym stuff twice a week, as long as you do your bit and your missus is reasonable sure you'll be able to carry on doing what you do out of the house
Bloody hell!!!
The mammal is 2 1/2, arrived at 02.57 on Boxing Day morning and we haven’t killed him yet.

At this point I may be able to point out that I am now a GREAT granddad, I need it in capitals so that I can even get my head around it. My son over 40, my daghter near to 40, my grandson 21, his sister 17, youngest grandson nearly 6, his sister nearly 3 and now a greatgranddaughter a few months old. An irony is that I was looking at some old photos the other day, and I came across the time me and my mate got ourselves on the front page of the York daily paper with the headlines something like Hull City supporters arrive in York. Later on we had been relagated to the back page but I do have the official newspaper black & white photos, we are all jumping up in the air, jeepers I can hardly get my own socks on now
