Off Topic The Burly Arms

Good morning everyone.

 

Good morning.

Thers's no Dad handbook by the way, I'm certain you're doing just fine.

 

Yeah probably. If anyone wants to adopt my youngest though PM me.

 

He’d only use it as a beer mat anyway if there was.

 

This lockdown is going to affect the kids in ways that won't fully manifest for a while.

My eldest is now just bone idle ( 'didn't fancy' a run yesterday evening), the two youngsters do seem to be happier with the situation. They are all way too into Xbox/phone/tablet whatever at the minute though.

It's going to be difficult weaning them off when we're allowed back out. Plus, the two youngsters have no sleep pattern at all so we're all ending up in the wrong bed to sleep. We need a back to school target, even if it's June nominally.

Not just the kids though, I was making a brew for my journey to work and the Mrs came down. She was literally walking though the house staring at her ****ing phone, undoubtedly some Facebook bollocks she now deems to be fact.

I gave up trying to exchange pleasantries and just ****ed off to work.

 

This is a walk in the park (which, ironically, is now illegal, almost). It’s going to be all out war when home schooling starts. A week or two was a novelty. A whole term will be a ****ing nightmare.

 

lol i posted that i thought, yea that sounds pretty ghey.

you can speak to me anytime too comm me old mucker

 

i wish, i haven't had any alcohol in months. ****ing missus didn't buy any

 

sounds like me.

me and the missus have a routine though where to set some time aside to spend some time with each other and/or do something together.

It doesn't mean we don't hang out outside of that time but that time of day we do stuff together.

Likewise at the weekend we have a couple of targets that we try to achieve like a big clear out of a room (sounds fun doesnt it )

 

You know why?

because she didnt want any so she assumed that means you won’t want any either because as we all know once you get a woman in your life..they think you’re brain stops functioning for itself

That’s bitches for ya

 

You mean she decides and you just go with it

 

Yeah sounds like it.

It also sounds like she carries his bollocks round in her ****ing handbag.

Pussy whipped bro.

 

Without googling, what are these best remembered for?

 

Is it the bird who threw her tampon at some ****er at a concert?

 

Got to make a dinosaur thing out of cardboard bits n bobz this aft with the young man

should be interesting.

 

^^^ both not getting any

 

I can believe she did that but it's not what I remember them for.

 

It's hard to explain but in my line of work I've only ever seen my children grow in the summer hols. There's that moment some time in August where I look at them and realise how they've grown and think to myself, that's another year I wish I'd made more out of our time together while they were still that age.

So for me, this time right now, even though they're sat upstairs on their tablets and phones watching something an old fart like me won't have a clue about, the fact I have to coax/bribe/force them to come down to cook with me or because they want to watch Friday Night Dinner or I cave in and let them watch endless reruns of Benidorm, or going (like we did today) to play 2-a-side footy in the park (an old family tradition since they were about 6).... is like heaven for me. I know it will end at some point and I will look back at this period and miss it like ****. I know it.
