The Official TFK Father's Issues Thread. I don't know how they do it

Little madame just after coming out of anaesthetic after being at the dentists. Gonna be a painful few days for her but the price of dentistry on milk teeth is criminal

Only seeing your news now @TreatyStones. Congrats to you & herself bud. Hope they are doing well.

Another future Tipp hurler from good stock.

Its free here to an extent but they have long waiting lists and generally only do extractions, we were worried about abscesses so had to go private.

She’s grand this morning, came flying in this morning delighted with money from the tooth fairy

What’s the going rate for the tooth fairy these days, art? A grand per tooth I suppose.

Always a worry when they go under an anaesthetic.

Well the dental fees were 1600, so we gave her 5 2 euro coins and put 20 in her savings ac. Bless her she only wanted enough money to buy 2 toys in deals, but that won’t last!

Happened my daughter when she was around 2. She fell on a wooden climbing thingy and cut her tongue. To stitch it they had to put her to sleep. Big worry.

My 2 have had to have a couple of operations as well, both of them being 2 when it has happened. That feeling of holding them while they are crying and then just fall limp when they go under is not nice at all. At least it is less than an hour that they are under, but even so, it’s not a good feeling.

My earliest memories are being lifted out of hospital bed by orderly and on to the trolley to go to operating theatre and his hairy arms itching my back and then being on operating table, staring at big light. Still quite vivid - Obviously makes an impression.

Also can remember visiting hours being over and parents having to leave and crying myself to sleep in hospital. That was last week.

I remember getting knocked out when I was a sprog. Was getting the aul grommets myself. Quite the ordeal. Most vivid memory from that period I’d say.

I got a general when I was 22 and it was the best most peaceful sleep I ever had. Highly recommend it.

Got knocked out on an operating table on my 5th birthday, born with a cyst over my eye and had to have an operation to have it removed. I had a week in Wexford general eating ice cream wondering what all the fuss was about, great times.

young fella nearly ran out in front of a tractor this morning
we had the gate open and he charged out the driveway as i was putting a few things in the Range Rover i bought 2 months ago
second time now in a few months, i dunno what’s better , that he wasnt seriosly injured or killed or that the wife did nt see it, last time this happened all hell broke loose and i obviously was blamed

I threw in a set of electric gates last year as the same thing happened us on more than one occasion. Sell the alloys off the Range Rover and you’ll have enough to electrify the gates. great job.

I hear you. I had the joy of ringing the Poison Hotline recently after catching the little fella necking a bottle of nurofen. No idea how or where he got it from but it was empty and wed no idea how much was in it. Turns out Nurofen aint too bad. Calpol is the one to be reallly wary of.
