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

She played the long game.

He must have had something going for him.

An ability to do or say the appropriate thing mightn’t be one of them. This is loosely based on his personal anecdotes.

Good to see the crotch sniffers in full swing.

Went through 6-9 months of it. Hell. Young lad had silent reflux and bit of dairy intolerance. Started off on Losec, then Nutramigen and finally Neocate (mad expensive) which did the trick.

Neocate did it for us.

we used to call it our powder gold. Some expensive stuff.

Twas “free” on prescription over here.

yeah you could get it through the drug scheme here so would just cost €144 or so a month for an order of it.

Sure you’re still in profit after child support.

I don’t know what you cunts will be like in 10-15 years. It could be interesting to find out how you deal with real parenting issues when the kids develop their own personalities and leave the house.

Our eldest started full-time work on Tuesday and we had another one finish the leaving on Friday. No bother on me about it, we now have a weekly contribution to household costs, I am busy trying to figure if I can turn my work week into a regular 4 (four days) and we are off to Nerja in Spain on a second honeymoon today… first holiday for the two of us without kids since 1995.

Life is good (eventually)

You’re living my dream.

I’m looking forward to the day my three are net contributors to the home. I could be mortgage free by 73!!

Hard to keep perspective when you’re in the thick of it. In debt, sleep deprived and been pulled and dragged all sides with day job, kids, family, volunteering etc… trying to enjoy the ride is half the battle I’d imagine but that can be hard to remember at times.

Mine are 6 and nearly 4. More or less reared only for the cash outlay on an ongoing basis

Just read the last few days. Great stuff. @Phil_Leotardo your missus is a vegatarian? Tell her to try stop eating broccolli and cabbage (the green veg) for a while and to sub in white bread. Not messing. This worked a treat for a couple of women Mrs J knows. Obviously you guys have other issues also but it may help.

Where would you even start
