    Just wandering what everybody does for their kids. I've been plagued by my boy to take him to Thorpe Park, so I've driven all the way from Kent, and now queuing to go on Saw. How far do you go to please them and have a peaceful life?

    I took mine to Chessington a fortnight ago, but spent most of the weekend watching the babies while the kids went on the rides :frown:

    Just taken mine to Cyprus, where he stayed in bed till about 12. No doubt you all have to do the same.

    Mondays Football training
    Tuesday, day off
    Wednesday, drum lessons and then football training
    Thursday goalkeeper coaching
    Friday Rugby training
    Saturday football match
    Sunday, rugby match or football match.

    So my time is his. But his father doesnt do anything for him.

    I've just been corrected, that I don't have a rest day on a Tuesday, more bloody football training. I can have the evening off on a Friday now.

    I used to laugh at Al Bundy and Homer Simpson. Now I feel a kinship and empathy :(

    it's good to read about so many great parents here. We might complain about how busy they keep us, but would we swap it for anything?...very doubtful isn't it?!!
    My current quandry is my daughter and son playing kids football at he same club, 2 years apart, but kick off at he same time!!
    Sometimes I'm lucky enough to have them playing on the pitches next to each other but other times I'm sprinting back and forth between two pitches hundreds of metres apart!!
    And in a couple of years the third one will start, I'll be in proper trouble then!

    Well done trundle. My boy trains at pompey, their training is crap. He's now started playing for Fareham Town's u18's not bad for a 15 Year old. Now their training is soo much better.

    Dilli don't know what games I'm going to make now he's playing Saturday and Sundays. I'm hoping that his first game is in September so I can get to the WBA game.
