11.30 and the kids are washed, fed and have completed the ccea curriculum for the year. The afternoon will be spent at baking, taekwondo, medical research and lobbying political representatives to distribute invermectin and vitamin d.
Proper fathering
We didnât get close to ICU capacity last time.
Remember per the HSE there were actually 812 beds available if needed.
We will be tighter now. A lot of excuses were made over training ICU staffing. It takes a 1 year full time course to train them in the normal course. I guess they couldnât because of the old summer holidays, couldnât have people working through that. We could never condense these things down to a few months either.
Itâs not like we were told to close down for 14 days to flatten the curve to give time to improve capacity. This wasnât an emergency after all.
Oh this is rapidly going south of heaven when Mrs Huntâs maternity leave is up.
Heâs an inspiration to those of us who have calves at foot and those planning on inseminating their prospective life partners.
I learned the difference between when to use âmeâ and âIâ in a sentence.
I bought a table in IKEA during early Fall. It allows me to separate my two doing their school work into different rooms like a prison warden separating warring prison gangs. So far itâs brought peace and quiet but whoâs to say if one of them wonât be on the roof throwing slates by 5pm.

I thought the same in lockdown 1 but did some research.
I would have thought an âacademicâ like yourself would do similar in the best interest of your own offspring.
No screens in my house for another year or so⌠Sheâs only 18 months so doesnât need it. Iâll be one of those parents that wonât allow my 13/14 year old have a phone. They can whistle Dixie.
One of the reasons we really wanted to send our chap into crèche. There were times in lockdown 1 (and this weekend just gone) where there was no other option but to use the screen to keep him occupied. This causes all sorts of other issues and affects concentration, sleep etc.
Youâre a great dad.
Grand if you control the time, like no more than an hour max continued with bringing him out and running the legs off him for longer than that.
Sadly itâs bickering down today so fuck all options.
Thank you National Geographic!
Leo stated this morning that he can never see life being the way it was before and that the idea of old normal way of life returning is hard to envisage. There seem to be new levels of despair that are plummeted to on a daily basis now.
Like a grown man spending all his time on an Internet forum.
Thatâs a scary picture
