For the lads striking, what if youâve a particularly durable child? What if they bite down on the gum shield and walk through you and start to apply educated pressure in the manner of a Barrera or Morales or worse a Wayne McCullough?
Is anything more than one strike a sustained beating?
How many times do youâve to hit them? Do you âsit downâ on the shots a bit.
Are you worried theyâll come round when theyâre 18 and knock you out?
You have to ask yourselfâŚ
Did you put the fear the god into anyone.
I want to see manic aggressionâŚ
Cmere the young fella feeds in a lot of good overs unders points betting rubby tips he is earning his corn
Youâve hands like shovels mate. Youâd be grand. While obviously not allowed to strike them, Iâve heard of a callow Junior Infants teacher nearly have the tit clane bit off her while trying to restrain a lad from hurting himself or others. He just kept coming at her.
Of course it does, good smack across the hole will deter future bollocking
The lads coddling their kids are the same lads whoâll be screaming about scrotish behaviour or lads walking around with 50 previous⌠the soft approach all stems from the same tree. Masculinity at its best stood up for what was right. And sometimes that meant a slap or twoâŚ
You cant say boo to your own kids now not to mind anything going on outside it.
Look at poor Eddie Hall.
Will you ever cop on you dope
We were leathered as kids and we never learned from it, you took your beating and moved on
Being a teen has always been hard⌠i never said theyâre whiny but a fair whack of them have had every handed to em⌠and thatâs parentâs faults, not the kids⌠every event has to out do the last one. Every holiday has to be bigger. A lot if parents refuse to believe their child is capable of trouble⌠or the otherside of it is parents take delight in their kid being some kind of victim because tbeir child has some form of condition or other⌠the world has to know about it.
In short, Iâm not blaming the kids at all. Iâm blaming precious parents.
A fair bit of truth in that
But like I said, youâll know fuck all about the difficulties of parenting till they approach the teenage years, different ball game altogether
Psychological warfare is my forte. I topped my FCA class two years running on the Psychological side of thingsâŚ

Go way to fuck, my lads know they fouled if they draw a dig.
The young buck decides he is getting up at 5am this morning. Roaring in his cot, not listening to attempts to settle him and not settling to us ignoring him.
I very nearly had pints yesterday but didnât in the end. Christ Iâm grateful for that now,
Admittedly I say this as someone whoâs past that stage with the kids but there is something lovely ,amid all the chaos ,about being up with a young baby in dead of night when rest of world is asleep and you have the baby calmed .obviously not every night but there is a nice moment therein.
Punting heavily on NPC rubby in NZ to pass the timeâŚ
You had to repeat the year in the FCA ?? Mother of Jaysus
