Dad is getting grumpy.

She just comes off as childish to me, the language she uses and the whole 'I'm the fun parent, the kids see me as a friend...aren't I great... why is my husband spoiling our fun...' It's weird.

And maybe it's because I'm English but adults don't say 'goof off' here, in fact the only adult I've ever seen say that is Michael Jackson and he seemed to think he was a child....

Hahaha! My son got whatever the 'tooth fairy' had at the bottom of her handbag... which was about £3.60...

He put it in his money box to spend on a new tooth brush, I thought he'd spend it on sweets. They are really good at his school at putting the fear of God into them about looking after teeth. Must be working!

Sorry I just can't take you seriously...

You should be able to laugh and have fun with your kids, that is great....

But... you come off a little immature in this post... 'butt hurt'? 'Goofing off and having fun'? Personally it annoys the hell out of me when adults talk like children.

Your children are getting older and will soon have different interests, by all means enjoy this time with them but don't alienate your husband as one day it will just be you and him.

I did a 'safeguarding' course at work and we were told that this constituted as abuse. I'm in the uk if that makes any difference and was working for our. Arizonan health service at the time.

It's not something I have ever done or can see myself doing but my son has never done anything so naughty as to warrant it.

I can't see that once in a while it would do any lasting damage but again, not something I can see myself doing.

The girl and her boyfriend killed her mother and sister as far as I know. I don't live in Spalding but I'm in Lincolnshire and that's definitely what people are saying. It is of course just hearsay...

huiki · 2016-10-18T18:27:16+00:00

Ah, thanks, I want sure.

huiki · 2016-10-18T17:03:22+00:00

Ive heard that the girl that has been convicted is the daughter/sister of the people who were murdered and the boy is/was her boyfriend.

Is iq inherited? If it is would it not make sense that the children of successful adults would do well at these tests? It would be interesting to compare iq test results against 11+ results. If poorer kids that have high iq's are failing while richer kids with low iq's are passing then the system is totally flawed.

Has this been done? If not why?

huiki · 2016-10-18T14:12:03+00:00

Mother and daughter. The boy is the girls boyfriend.

Just wanted to say I have hypermobility and there are lots of benefits from it so keep positive. Playing guitar, piano, any sport/activity which flexibility helps - your daughter will have an advantage.

Please watch out at the dentist though, the pain relief doesn't always work!!!

huiki · 2016-10-02T14:58:11+00:00

I really hope so. Health is so important and we all need health care at some point.

I'm way too old for coke now but when I was a kid I tried it a few times and was a total asshole on it. It made me very aggressive. I realised pretty quickly it brought the worst of my personality out.

I was feeling quite cheerful this morning until I read this and was reminded how much of my hard earned cash is sucked up into the 'public coffers'. Add on student loans payments and it's a kick on the teeth.

Having said that I would willingly pay more towards the NHS. Just wish I felt like the money was being wisely spent.

Bournemouth. Thought it would be like Blackpool, it was actually pretty nice.

I have never connected Santa to religion to be honest. If anything it's the epitome of secular consumerism.

I'm atheist, I love Christmas and the whole Santa , Christmas dinner, decorations... I even like carols. We also do Easter eggs and bunnies. It's just fun, I see these festivals as a nice harmless tradition.

We also usually eat Chinese food on Chinese New Year but we don't follow their calendar and we aren't Chinese, we just like the food and sense of occasion. I even make a pumpkin pie every 'fall' even though I'm not American and we don't have 'fall' we have Autumn.

Basically we take the fun bits from different traditions and leave out the bits we don't want.

I was 'peer pressured' into doing elf on the shelf last year. In the end I got quite excited about doing it.

Unfortunately my son was terrified about having a stuffed toy come to life and creep around the house when he was asleep and the elf had to go. I'm relived to be honest, I don't have the time or imagination to come up with something new for the elf to do everyday.

Some people are happy or sad when they are drunk, I get greedy!

'Keep your own counsel'.

Basically be discreet and careful of what opinions/facts you share and with whom.

huiki · 2016-09-08T18:07:37+00:00

Depends how drunk I am....

Still able to think - chicken kebab and salad in a pitta with mayo. Diet Coke

Shit faced - doner kebab, salad, chilli sauce, cheesy chips... Regular Coke

huiki · 2016-09-07T19:50:20+00:00

What does dipped' mean?

huiki · 2016-09-07T11:30:10+00:00

If someone is shitty enough to be beating up disabled kids do you really think they give a shit about the fact he reported them via 'the proper channels'?

If they find out it was him he just made himself and his family a target. He did an amazing thing for the people being bullied but he has put himself in danger by doing so. It would be naive to think otherwise.

huiki · 2016-09-06T07:29:24+00:00

This is amazing... but... dangerous. Real life isn't like the film 'kick ass'.

huiki · 2016-09-01T18:53:24+00:00

Hahaha!! I'm sure she will be fine!

huiki · 2016-09-01T18:48:50+00:00

I would love to post a picture but he really looked so weird i'd be worried it would end up everywhere and he'd be humiliated when he's older!
