Handover of kids this morning.

How about a fully grown alsatian for Christmas next year?! Complete with massive beanbag bed and plenty of annoying squeaky toys and smelly pigs ears!

As you take the massive dog downstairs, straining at the leash and slobbering uncontrollably, you can cheerfully remind your son and his mum that dogs are for life, not just for Christmas, and merrily wave them on their way.

LOL! How I would LOVE to be a fly on the wall!

Have you thought about a reptile with live food. Cage optional

T

Or a horrible hairy tarantula...!!

A beer fridge (for soft drinks of course) so that he can put food in and forget about it until it grows into a lovely furry gren carpet all over the hall and stairs

ok think i missed something here

i bought my son the fridge

i bought him a large black labrador

i bought him the drums

i bought the electric guitar and amp and wired it to my stereo

i bought him a set off decks and lps and eps and gave him my old records

then gave him a microphone

did i mention i like heavey metal and hard rock

and finally i have not and never will take a penny off the ex and the kids live with me

am i stupid or independant

why is he playing bros

One xmas many moons ago my ex got Santa to deliver what he wanted the kids to have...I thought it was class to see two of them playing tennis with the guitars, screaming out of tune to the automatic tunes of the keyboard and the youngest sitting inside the drum using the drumsticks as paddles and singing row row row your boat

They did eventually write letters to Santa begging him to get it right!

Call me sentimental - or just plain mental if you like, and I have enjoyed the read Haway, but I'm left thinking it must be a lonely journey for a 12 year old when that buzzer goes,leaving Dad and walking down alone to Mum waiting at the door. Poor lad must dread it.

Be a man and accompany him to the door please.
