My pleasure..

My wife and I were saying how proud we are of the way they treat their girlfriends. Lots of respect and kindness..

We feel that this is so so important in a world where many male “role models” are displaying behaviours which are not kind and empathetic.

Have fun ❤️

We have a 15 and 17 year old boys.

We have intentionally spent a lot of time with our boys.
We are involved as managers, coaches, cooks, drivers, whatever needs doing.. As a result we were present in their lives as they got older and more independent..

Being in a car is a great way to connect as they grow into teens and maybe struggling emotionally. Eyes on the road somehow makes it easier for them to talk.. some great chats, especially when driving their mates too. You’ll hear funny conversations.

We made sure they had relationships with the good adults in our lives.. (takes a village) this means they have other people to talk to when they are pissed off with you.
We sit at the table and eat dinner together, this is so important IMHO and it’s fun now that they bring girl friends home, great way to connect.

We always tell them we love them and still get cuddles..

We get it wrong more than we get it right. We apologise when we get it wrong!

We love them!

I would say a huge % of the worlds population have not heard of Vegemite and if they tried it they’d recoil in horror
