8MileBU Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 Absolutely gutted, the wee man has picked up a rotten throat infection and cough. His big sister had it over weekend. Hopefully he shows some bouncebackabilty when he gets up tomorrow. Hate when the kids are Ill but even worse at Christmas. My daughter spent her first Christmas in Yorkhill so to all parents, cherish your day with the wee ones. I also have a rotten thirst infection but I have self prescribed copious amounts of alcohol tomorrow. Have a good one everybody. My wee lass has had the sore throat now she’s all snotty, sniffy, can’t breathe through her nose and worst of all.... get to sleep. At this rate I think I’m gonna be up til yon time waiting for a chance to do the Santa duties [emoji21] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Sugar_Army Posted December 24, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 24, 2019 Flew to Poland today to visit her family. As today is their gift giving and meal day she suggested I fly dressed as Santa (I own a suit as do few things for kids charities). TBH I was a bit unsure but as I doubt I would ever get the chance to do it again I went for it big time, suit, wellies, even my hand luggage was a santa sack. Actually turned out to be fun. The faces on kids in the airport were a joy, took an age to get to the gate due to bairns, adults and staff asking for selfies. I even had sweets to hand out (with the permission of parents before anybody comments). Random allocated seats meant I was given row 1 while she was up in a row 16. Boarded the plane and the captain appeared asking for a photo. Said he was going to send it to his son and tell him he was helping Santa delivering presents. Near the end the cabin crew asked if they could get a photo and just as we finished this absolute weapon strode up the aisle in wet-look leggings that left little to the imagination and asked for a hug and a selfie. How could one refuse? Well that was my excuse to her back in row 16. As I sat back down a member of the crew thanked Santa for flying Ryanair and then some people started singing jingle bells. Polish guy next to me said nothing all flight and just as we hit the tarmac he turned to me and said "Santa, can I get a selfie?" Even the guy on passport control only asked for a peek at my face as did not want to burst the Santa myth to the kids in the queue. Big family gathering all done, kids bought into their surprise guest with gifts. Hope everybody has a day as good as mine. 47 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flybhoy Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 (edited) In all seriousness tomorrow won't be the easiest or best Christmas ever, will pop down to my ex wife's about 11.00 with presents for her and the kids... I may even get something in return, doubt I'll get anything off my daughter though who has been in a huff with me for months now but, will clearly take my presents and the money I transferred into her account the other day. Then I'll be taking my son and my stepdaughter down to my own parents house for an hour or so, both of whom have had their own health scares of late and are a bit more frail looking every year but, still adore the kids and it makes their Christmas day seeing them, unfortunately that means I have to spend a bit of time with my brother who will also be there and is a bit of an arse truth be told but he is still my brother end of the day so presents will be exchanged between us all. The heavy difficult part then comes when my son gets a visit to his mum's house to see her, his siblings and me, he's had a difficult time of late with some personal issues, he's been living in a supervised unit for teenagers with mental health issues, Social Work are dragging their heels about whether he is ready to come home but he gets a two hour supervised visit to his mum's tomorrow, will be good to see him if emotional at the same time. Then my youngest son and my stepdaughter are coming to mine for their dinner while my daughter will no doubt stay at her mum's as I'm in the c**t book with her... awkward teenager phase Then I'll drop the two of them back off with their mum before hitting my Right Said Fred after what will be a long and emotional day without a drop of alcohol, plenty of that will be consumed on Boxing Day though as I head to St Mirren v Celtic with our CSC, immensely looking forward to it purely to unwind and release some tension at a difficult time, who would have thought someone would relish a day in Paisley so much... Hope you all have great day guys and girls Edited December 24, 2019 by Flybhoy 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what you wrote you are trying to do your best under very difficult circumstances and without wanting to sound patronising you should be commended for that. Hopefully as time goes on the fact you are trying your best will be recognised and bridges can be rebuilt. I work with some of the most disadvantaged kids and it breaks your heart when you hear how some of them are literally emotionally (and physically) abandoned by one parent or even both at this time of the year. Hope your kid gets the mental health support they deserve, unfortunately sometimes you need to make a bit of noise and not take no for an answer for that to happen so do not be scared to do it. 43 minutes ago, Adam101 said: Edited December 25, 2019 by Sugar_Army 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lichtie23 Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 Started night shifts on Saturday there and don’t finish until Saturday morning (28th). It’s just me and the wife this year as the kids are at there mums though I do have them on Boxing Day from 2pm onwards. Il finish in a few hours and go home to a bacon roll before exchanging gifts. Should be in bed by 9. The wife is nipping to her mothers for a few hours before returning home to make our Xmas meal of steak pie. Il get up around 2 and probably eat around 4. It’s going to be shite without the kids but Boxing Day will be our Xmas day I suppose. Merry Christmas to you all, hope it’s a good one 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J_Stewart Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 We’re hosting Christmas for the first time, got loads of food and (more importantly) drink, and done most of the prep work for the cooking already. Should be a good laugh. 10 humans, 4 dogs, two of whom have already had their festive photo taken this morning:Merry Christmas all, hope you have a great day. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sugar_Army Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 6 minutes ago, doulikefish said: Happy Birthday Jesus Lol Reminded me of a time when tasked to set the Christmas dinner table. Knew something was missing but could not quite figure what. 2 mins later she walked in to find a Toy Story "Happy Birthday" banner pinned to the wall with a sheet of A4 and the name "Jesus" in marker pen sellotaped to it. Her mother who was a churchy type said I was going to hell. Well, even at Christmas you sometimes need that wee conversation starter which differs from "How many pairs of socks did you get?" or "Are your sprouts soft enough?" (insert Kenneth Williams type image here). Have a great day to one and all. And if you are spending with a meal for one, remember you are not really alone, you are a member of the P&B family...as dysfunctional as we may be. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
