19QOS19 Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Feels a bit insensitive posting it straight after my above post but less insensitive had I put it in the same post I think.

I was a third child with 2 older sisters, and was forced to wear girl's trousers without a fly. I'm convinced that's what made me the pervert I am today. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miscarriages are horrendous - one of my step daughters had one 18 months or so ago. She just said it wasn't meant to be. I know a chap whose wife lost twins just before Christmas. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't have a bath in our house, only a shower, but we're round at my parents' house at least twice a week so the kids can use the bath. They love it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny how standards slip when you have a second...and get worse when you have your third. All the best to your Mrs and the impending wee shitey-arse, Boaby. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They love it. He hates a shower. We have 3 (two mains one electric) and he only settles for the electric after a while. Whereas he will demand a bath.

He has musical bath dolphins. Little dolphins that make musical noises if tapped when floating in water. Between that and throwing sponges at me. He has a great time 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A phrase I've never heard before. You're right, though. I always loved 'bath time' with my three. Is it a dad thing? Their maw was always efficient and regarded bathing as a simple hygiene exercise. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it a dad thing? Their maw was always efficient and regarded bathing as a simple hygiene exercise. Think so. He asks for me to do bath. No daddy but actual name (wife doesnt call me daddy in front of him. Finds it weird and he picked up on it) i do the hair wash and scrub first and then let him play. She does the wash and out. So it's a dad thing. We get to be the fun and strict ones at same time. If we do the shower he goes in with me but he hates it so much its clean then wife collects. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The keeping them healthy bit has been but the letting them grow as their own person is the current position. Given your circumstances ( not with their mother?)

The backstop is for grumpy, divorced dads to enjoy their brilliance. A mistake that some make is to regard kids as friends. I adore my three and we rub along well but they are not, in any way, my pals. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
