Thanks Patty. I am truly shocked by the amazingly fantastic support and love from this site. I was unsure whether i should have shown her this site/thread due to it being about her. I took the risk and boy am I glad I did. She now realises what a NORMAL (is there such a thing) life consists of. From your comments and kind words she has realised that there are lovely great caring people in the world. Parenting is the hardest job in the world but talking to people like you guys makes it easy. I owe you all a man hug and a beer (soft drinks, coffee, tea are available). Top guys you lot
That is fantastic news Sound great employers, and I'm sure she'll be a great asset to them You deserve to be as proud as I'm sure you are
We will celebrate after her Saturday appointment. Hopefully City can give us a win to double the celebration
Note to Beth. I'm just a daft old bloke, who loves his daughter. (A bit like your Dad). But I wanna tell you a story, as Max Bygraves once said. (Wha'dya mean who the hell's he? Ask ya Dad). When my daughter was 18 she moved in with her boyfriend, altered her Uni plans and insisted that she was in love and this was it for life. I let her get on with it, 'cos who can argue with a teenage girl, right. Like they know everything! Two and a half years ago at four o'clock in the morning I got a hysterical phonecall. They'd had a massive bust up. He'd punched a hole in the door then stormed off to go clubbing. He'd called her every name imaginable and broken her heart. She was inconsolable: gasping through the tears that she'd ruined her life. (At 18. Can you believe that!). Anyway, me and her Mam jumped in the car and drove round to hers. Packed her possessions into the car and drove her home. The next day I sorted out rent owed, paid off bills and washed that man right out of her hair. (That's from a musical - your Dad'll probably know which one; he's old). For the next couple of weeks she cried every day, ate more chocolate than is humanly possible and watched every single episode of The Gilmore Girls at least twice, whilst putting a bum imprint into my sofa that's still there. Anyway, fast forward two and a half years. She's now with a new bloke who she loves (and who treats her like a princess - that's all I ask). She's passed her driving test and just started teacher training. She's always smiling. (Although that won't last when she's got Year Eleven bottom set Geography on a Friday afternoon). The point is that time's the greatest healer of all time, and cures all wounds. Hang in there sweetheart, things will get better.
Having daughters does make you realise what a ****ing selfish idiot you were when you were a young man or how much it meant to girls/women. When I was your age, I was knockin' 'em off left and right; but I never did it with nobody's daughter. Thats a line from a classic film. Anyone guess the film??
Your daughters x will NEVER EVER get anyone as good as her EVER But your DAUGHTER will get someone far superior to HIM thats a fact. Life is strange like that.
I would love to Filey but Beth has got an appointment at Castle Hill on Satdee afternoon. Sadly, i don't get to many away games nowadays. Thumbs up to all making the long journey
All the best to you and your Daughter. Theres always posatives if she looks around. Tell her NEVER let any man control her. Even if people are married they still have a right to a life with friends and a right to do their own thing with friends. She will WILL bounce back big time. Ps....I wouldn't have gone to bloody Bournemouth but junior ( my nephews girl ) Has become a fanatical HULL CITY supporter and wanted to go.
Thanks buddy She has had all the advice she can take these past two weeks One bit of advice was "if you you don't listen to your Dad, you certaintly don't need to listen to any other man". That brought a smile to her face. Even if it is a bit expensive, you have a goodun in Junior. Safe journey and I hope you enjoy the day and the match. I think I will have to take Beth on a few away matches and get her back to matches at the KC
