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

What do you mean somethings not right?

How has she 5 different pick ups

Is shuttering Carpenter a specific trade? Or just a skill that a normal Carpenter would have aquired?

I would have thought this would be easy enough to imagine.
I don’t know the exact line up but its something like this
3 year old - 11
4 year old - 12
5 year old - 1.30
7 year old - 2.30
15 year old - 4.30

Its rougher work and generally less skilled but all chippys would be able to do it. Often though non qualified “chippys” do this work. Its somewhere between labouring and carpentry. It can be quite complex, but most of it is footpaths and such things.

Mine were reared in nursery.

Nothing wrong with it if the relationships are good and the person running the show k ows her gig.

My mother more or less reared another 3 boys she “minded”. Great parents, very successful dentist and teachers who know have their own private business. Lads turned out incredibly well. Its all down to the dynamics. And they still have a brilliant relationship with kids. I have heard of grandparents who have poisoned kids with bitterness and such. There is no perfect way.

If she’s raising 5 kids on her own with no support then something isn’t right.

I still don’t get you?

You are saying there is something wrong with somebody bexause they are a single mother?

Anyway, for those interested, was he went in today clung to his mothers leg. After some coaxing he went in. No hassle since.

Mother is split between he is too young. it was school convinced her to send him now, she wanted to wait till Jan. She still may pull him if it continues.

She thinks its totally down to the kid really. He is not ready and/or is playing them. Agrees the teachers could probably do more in reality, but rules stop them from having virtually any interaction. They have a 20 min crying rule. He broke that. Probably a bit of attitude from teacher, but at the end of the day this is how she is trained. Stupid, but more a societal thing than anything.

The lack of a decent male role model is clearly an issue, as the mother well knows.

ill field this one Mac

No in fact she also brings home a nephew or two.

Mother and father lice down the road but won’t lift a finger. “Your mess, you deal with it” kinda approach i believe. Got the impression the mother felt she should put up with getting beaten up.

Walls,decking,columns,stairs,beams,dropbeams,liftshafts are just some things you’ll be doing as a “shuttering” carpenter

This is the crux of it Kev. Her gut instinct was to wait another few months when the kid would be older. Third parties talked her into separating herself from her kid every day. As a mother of 5, I would have thought she’d know enough to trust herself when it comes to her kids.

Congrats on finally having a non-hairy baby.

I’ll tell her to give you a call the next time seeing as you never get any decision wrong in life.

Its gas to hear cunts on here judge the mother for taking professional advice and in nearly every other spectrum would advise you TO take it.

The hypocriosy is hilarious.

Cheers buddy. What I really meant by it being smoother is that neither my wife or child nearly died this time around, but the non hairiness is a bonus too I suppose.

Don’t be a fucking tool. I never said I don’t get decisions wrong. Not judging her either, as her decision is practically inconsequential to me, other than taking the time to reply to you on it.

When a mother’s intuition tells her to take a course of action regarding her kids, there is a lot to be said for backing herself. I have never advised my missus to go against her intuition regarding the kids so I’m not being hypocritical either.

Hopefully it works out, for her wellbeing and that of the kid.
