are you bringing the kid down Brian?
enjoy enjoy- ive heard the grub is awesome
itll get u in the good books for a while
you cant bet a good hotel - nothing worse then getting to a hotel an feeling a little underwhelmed, had this at the La Mon in Belfast and the Hotel Westport recently
The Inchydoney was something else tho
tricky age the kid is at- suite can handy so he can sleep away in there and ye can at least enjoy each otherās company and the room - else you could be sitting there in the dark at 9pm
Ballymascanlon outside Dundalk . Cooley is really nice .

Yeah weāre bringing the little one. It wonāt be easy but have to start somewhere.
At this stage Iāve no issue with sitting in darkness at 9pm, thatās about my bed time these days. Itās fairly challenging keeping the plates spinning at home and in work.
is herself at home all day with the kid?
thatās a recipe for absolute disaster for you
ah youāll make the most of it there allright in the hotel - when the babyās asleep order some room service - tea or a beer and try and enjoy it,
it can be a tricky time allright- ah it can be fucking awful to be honest- it gets easier tho
Tis unrale
How old is junior BT? Is it too young to get the hotelās babysitting service for a few hours?
If you canāt do the time, donāt do the crime - as the say.
Yeah sheās at home all day with her. She (the baby) is only 8 weeks old. Itās not too bad as weāre close to town and her sister works flexible time so is occasionally around during the day.
The hardest part is putting in a shift in work and then coming home to put in another shift at home. She (the wife) had a setback owing to previously referenced negligence on the part of the hospital so isnāt firing at 100% yet.
8 weeks so too young I suspect.
A lot stupider bastards than you managed it

The days are just v long when they are that young. Its a lot more intense burst of terrorism when they are older but they fall asleep at 8 o clock for the night.
Enjiy the night away but tbh spending that money on cliff house is a conplete waste. Its a lovely spot but I personally wouldnt bother my bollox going anywhere I didnt have to with a kid that young. Lockdown for a few months
Iām humbled reading this thread every time.
It was much easier in our day I suppose
Life was much simpler.
It was, I suppose. They were simpler times.

We went to the cliff house with our first lad when he was only 7 weeks old. Looking back now it was a bizarre thing at the time but given the obscene amount of money it cost Iād do it again if in the same situation. Being in lock down isnāt good for anyone. Everyone in the hotel thought we were a bit nuts and sure we probably were.
Enjoy it BT. The hotel will organise a babysitter for you if you want to get a few hours in the evening to yourselves in the bar or restaurant. Very trustworthy and getting a couple of hours to yourselves can only be a good thing.
