Not really what i was saying mickee.

ah fair enough. would u agree with me tho?

With each age brings its own troubles. Was bowling with the kids last night. Ben and Jerry, not a bother, stayed close, loved the activity. Derval had her own ideas, when I turned around she was gone. 2 mins of running around looking for her, ffs it would put the heart crossways on you.

No. Kids are great. Being a parent has made me a better person. Maybe i was a bit ignorant and selfish before, but having kids gives you great perspective on life i think.
I just make sure to get out every now and then to forget about it.

definitely agree on the perspective part, 100%… i would not say im any way a better person tho, in fact id say it exposes how weak i am as a person as @caoimhaoin[/USER] and kevin Mul have been telling the forum from their dealings with me… im finding the whole thing exhausting at times and i dont have the answers or the energy… the novelty has well and truly worn off as [USER=1786]@TreatyStones is discovering

did you watch " the missing " on BBC1 lock?
9 part series just ended about a family whose child was taken the night of the 2006 WC final, great show but would put the fear of whatever it is frightens you in you

My ma says parenting is all about energy, too much of theirs and too little of yours. Everyone makes the right decision when they have energy but very parent finds out about just how tired it’s possible to be.

Everyone has times when they are bad parents. Don’t beat yourself up about it. Just keep trucking. And imagine the craic you’ll have with the young fella teaching him all about football how certain teams are wankers/gods/don’t like it up em.

You’d be scared but rationally 99/100 you’d find them and soon.

First tooth lost tonight of my oldest lad. Time marches on.

What’s going rate for the Tooth Fairy these days? How many teeth does a kid have?

Has to be a coin so you’re grand. Two euro for a flash fella like yourself. And you get to reprimand your young fella for falsely inflating the economy!
