8MileBU Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 The bairn is 9 this week. Ive told her she’s approximately half way through all of her allowable time living under my roof. I will be breaking the same news to my wee lass a week tomorrow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baby Grace and her entourage left at 8.00 am, our daughter went off to the Day Centre at 9.30 ish, there's hardly been a word spoken! Have to collect grandson nr 5 from school shortly, but when he's here on his own you'd hardly know he was in the house. Fortunately his wee sister, Little Miss Cyclone isn't here today. At least, not yet... ETA: No homework tonight, or, indeed, all week. It's Break The Rules Week, apparently. He didn't take it too well when we said it must be Break The Rules Week every week. Also tomorrow they're wearing pyjamas to school. No idea. Edited April 9, 2019 by Jacksgranda 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shandon Par Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 My kid seems so much more wholesome and constructive than I was at that age. At 13 I was into drink, drugs, girlfriends, The Happy Mondays. Came home today (Easter Hols) and she’d baked cakes and planted a load of stuff in the garden for my missus. And she drew my avatar for me the other day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A real shame as far as I’m concerned, I’m worried that by the time my daughter turns 18 her peers won’t even be interested in drugs, alcohol and unprotected sex. I blame the SNP. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MP_MFC Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Trying to move house with your wife at nearly 20 weeks is not much fun!She's doing well so far and is helping out where possible and I do count my lucky stars that we are doing it now unlike my mate who has just moved with a one WEEK old. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacksgranda Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 Got a kiss and a hug this morning from Little Miss Cyclone this morning when I was taking her big brother off to school. Nothing too strange about that you say? Well, she's always been a bit "iffy" with me, and it's only this last 6 months or so she's started to interact on a regular basis with me. She's now progressed to "walking" across me for no apparent reason. I suppose I should be grateful she doesn't do to me what she does to her granny - she just launches herself at her and uses her like a trampoline. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacksgranda Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Had to bring him home from school yesterday after the teacher said he was rubbing his eyes (he's got conjunctivitis) and complaining about it. When I arrived the school secretary said his eyes were very red. He came bouncing down the corridor and wasn't very pleased about getting taken out of school, I could see nothing wrong with his eyes, tbqh.. After we got him home he made that much fuss his mother had to come and take him back to school! Picked him up at 2.50 and he had had a good day. I can only think the teacher was concerned about him spreading his eye infection. He's missed a lot of days this term between his asthma, a bad cough, a previous bout of conjunctivitis and a stomach bug, so his mother didn't really want him to miss any more, even if it was only one day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
