The reason I go to work

[Paul.M]

The Cavalry baby is saying "dad #@*$ off to work and make us some money". And Widdler's baby is doing a great impression of that Budweiser advert :wazzzup:. Love it. Kens idea of a sticky thread so members can chat away about their kids is a good idea, reminds us all of what we are working so hard for. By the way I don't have any yet (still working on it) but I cam see the point in it so I'll back you up ken.

To all you new dads ...................a word of advice the dad contract is the longest contract you will ever take on, it is for life.

I had 3 of those gorgeous wee things, that have now grown up to 3 women, still gorgeous in my eyes, but we still get the phone calls, which starts off, Hi dad is mum about, and ends up with mum saying, she promises to pay it back.

Which is why i'm still working, and in Saudi, becasue I never do seem to get paid back. All I hope is that they choose a half decent nursing home for me.

**** yer mate,
Right mods; is there any chance that you could consider making this original posting into a sticky somewhere??? As there are quite a few dads on this forum; I believe that this could become a popular post - after all, its always nice to get advice from other blokes as opposed to the mother in law. I believe that a sticky for us parents would offer members a potential goldmine of information.
I'm not enough of a techno geek to be able to do one of them on-line polls that Phil produces; in order to conduct a poll of members.
So I'm asking for individuals to back me up here, and support my case.

So come on, lets have a sticky somewhere of members parenting skills and stories.

I would go with that, sticky it, very good idea. :17:

I made the decision to calm the work down to Monday-Friday only 4 years ago

It doesn't always work, but it has improved family life alot- so much so the kids sometimes ask if i'm going to work then I read the riot act and remove the playstation when the rooms messy etc

My daughter (now 8) became a bit distant when she was 2-3 and I realised I was spending 10-12 hours per day out of the house.
Now I don't start until 8.30 - like to see them off to school- I make less money, but it's well worth it

My oldest (boy 15) has the usual plonker friends, and has just been dumped on his birthday by his girlfriend (doesn't know why). Glad to see he's well rounded and well liked - must come from the wifes side of the family

His sister (8) has been told she's not allowed to talk to boys when she reaches secondary school as its in the rules

Mine (just 2) has been told no boys until she is 40 and then I want a full background check done!!:clap: Apparently the better half thinks I might change my mind when she is older:crazy:
