The very good Daddies thread (Mums may post too)

I would like to nominate my darling father.

When I was around three or four we were driving over the Denbigh Moors and there was low cloud. My darling father stopped the car and got out so that I could 'walk inside a cloud'.

I have never forgotten the magic of that. I wish I could pass things like that on to LB.

I'm sure this thread, as well as the bad mummies thread is just a bit of lighthearted fun

Supposed to be, didn't realise I had to put that in giant letters at the front of the thread. Even then, I suspect that wouldn't have worked.

Yes it would. I thought you were serious about being up on your high horse that why i posted what i did earlier. So I'm sorry for the way I came across.

I'm going down down deeper and down.

Been a bad bad boy.

Tonight was our last ever parents' evening.

So that's about 18 years' worth, since the eldest started nursery, and I think I've been to every single one. And I've been to 90% of the meetings about trips etc, I think I managed to send DH to a few of them but only once I knew what they were going to say because I'd heard it before with one of the older ones.

I think that deserves a medal! :rotfl:

The other good news is that DS3 has finally 'matured': he was accused of being 'immature' in Reception, but I felt that was a bit harsh - after all, if you can't be immature when you're four, when can you be? - and got the teacher to agree he was actually 'inconsistent', ie sometimes immature and sometimes astonishingly grown up for his age. Personally I'd say he was still 'inconsistent', but his science teacher was very happy that he'd matured since GCSEs.

He's out partying tonight, but the fact that I've let him go on a school night probably belongs on the bad mummies thread rather than here.

I make sure that I never swear in front of the children.
I don't want to be the person that they pick up their 1st swear word from and we have a bit of a bet going as to whether mum or dad will be the bad person from which they pick it up from.

Just to let you know that i've never sworn in my life. Can't do it even if I tried. I don't have it in me. I have never heard anyone swear as much as my 25yo. He doesn't even realise he's doing it half the time, and when he says something that's littered with swearwords and I say that there's no need, he'll insist he hasn't sworn!

i have twins with special needs, i've brought them up on my own since they were 3 months old, i bf both of them for the first 6 weeks, made sure they've always had healthy meals and snacks, they eat fruit every day, been to every parents meeting, every review of their special needs, escorted them on school trips, when they wouldnt have been able to go otherwise. brought them up to help others, where they can.
i'm very proud of my two boys:)

This week, I'm going to the panto three times, because my son is in it. He's 22, so doesn't need me there, but on Wednesday I took DS3, tomorrow I'm taking my mum and my brother, and on Saturday the in-laws are coming.

And he is a star! A natural, a born performer. Even his flat-mate's mum says so, and his flat-mate's in it too!

But he's never done anything like this before, so where has he got it from?
