Its not like it used to be boss. Technology has made it possible to live abroad without living abroad if you know what I mean

My approach seldom takes more than 20 mins but she would not be happy to go along with that especially when she is present. Anyway I try as much as I can to give her some breathing room. More often that not I bring little one back to the homestead in Tipp. The grass is greener there, extra pair of hands, always an extra dinner floating around. Raising children is never easy but in these times it seems to be harder.

Very tough situation. Maybe drink a half bottle of whiskey and get a good night’s sleep yourself at least?

My lassie is 12 today. Enjoying celebrity status with me since the minute she was born.

It’s a lot easier now. You’d be getting VHS tapes of matches sent over in the 90’s. A sub for the Monday Irish Times for the sport and you might get it by Friday if you were lucky. Dialling into a number in Belgium to listen to a match on RTE radio. 00 3225095050.

No need for that lame attempt at “wit”. The lad’s having a tough day, show some support/compassion.
I despair of you sometimes. We’re not here slagging you just because you’re reduced to turnips.

You’ve had your warning from the godfather. Check underneath the car in morning before turning the ignition

Doesn’t matter.

My lad was 12 yesterday. It’s a cliche but it has flashed by.

Give them a bit of space

I’d say being in a non English speaking country helps in a way does it. If you are in oz Canada usa or the likes you’d just watch their telly and get into their sport for handiness sake and drift away from here.

I threw him a like and joke. It’s acceptable currency on tfk
You don’t have to like it. Your despair is your own business. “We”.

My experience of it Oz was difficult to keep up with th hurling as would be 3am Monday morning for live c’ship matches. There’d be far more northern and Leinster football lads about too so little chatter about hurling.

states was great for it tho. Could start your Sunday early and finish early if choosing to too.

First couple of years were tricky until you get a bit of the language. Much easier now though.
