He attend his own grad alone as the school doesnât allow +1âs. Last week he had his Debs arranged separately by the LC committee and took his young lady friend along and she reciprocated last night at her schoolâs event.
Iâm not too badly off. Heâs an easy going kid, doesnât drink, and I have him working so heâs paying his way.

I was lucky to get to my own 
.
If only I knew then what I know now. Such is life. I count ourselves very lucky. I wish I could say my 3 have listened to some of my acquired wisdom, but I was never the preachy type. I would do a stop and check myself evaluation when I heard myself sounding like me father.
Some serious shit seems to be going down in Kilkenny.
Nothing like a helicopter doing laps of your house as youâre trying to put the kid to sleep. FML
Edit: I retract the FML. Assumed it was some kind of training exercise. Seems to be coast guard. Someone in the river 
Our house is finished with nappies. Three yr old took it all in her stride and had it within a week.

Youâre doing something right if sheâs made it to four years old and made her first serious curse now. Weâve a two year old going round cursing like a sailor which is quite embarrassing and not helped by in-laws clapping like seals each time it happens in their presence. I didnât think our language was that bad at home but maybe it was and weâve consciously tried to eradicate it but I donât know how weâre going to stop it now. If anyone had a similar problem with a toddler and managed to knock it on the head Iâm all ears.

You reminded me of this 
One summer a young family moved into a vacant house. One day builders turned up to renovate the vacant house next door. The 5 year old daughter took an interest whilst out playing and the builders adopted her as a mascot and theyâd give her little jobs to do to make her feel important and let her sit with them at tea time and lunch breaks and theyâd give her biscuits etc.
At the end of the 1st week they even gave her an envelope with âŹ5 in it as âpayâ.
Her mum was thrilled and as she was going to the bank suggested the little girl start a bank account with her âpayâ
The teller chatted to the little girl and asked if the money was a birthday present ânoâ she said âI was working all week with the builders working next doorâ
The teller was very impressed and asked the girl âSo will you be working with them next week again then?â
âDunnoâ said the little girl âIt depends if those cunts from Chadwicks deliver the fucking plasterboard or notâ

I donât think the odd curse is as much of a big deal as it was at all? Obviously if they are going round calling everyone a cunt or something youâd be worried but cursing in general is far more widespread than it was it seems to me and the old âshameâ thing of the priest or school principal hearing you isnât as much of a big deal.

Any issues?

Nothing. Youâd feel like you had a kick in the nuts for a few days but I went for a run I think two days afterwards.

Informative.
Little lass went in for a taster for junior infants today. Half an hour with parents allowed in as well. Sheâs home here and wonât take off the uniform even though sheâs not going back again until Tuesday. Looks like itâll be no bother dropping her off on Tuesday. She knows where her chair is and where the jacks are. What else do she need sure?

Seems like a great way to do it. Mrs Mac still has nightmares about our 2nd lad starting Juniors during Covid times where a teacher took him from us at the steps and him roaring his eyes out.
When our first lad started the principal had to come into the room to ask crying parents to get out as they were upsetting the kids!
