This morning I waved my son goodbye at the train station as he headed back to Leeds Uni. He had to change trains at York on his way. Mr O has just had a phone call from our boy....who is now wandering around Newcastle train station. I despair, I really do.
i want it to stop on river drive then go up lakeside oooooo and out by canal bridge.
i got the train to brum the other day and they have an electronic thingy listing the stops and it was listing burton, derby and so on, so i had a right panic fit convinced i was goin the wrong way. got of at the first stop to find it was new street brum and the listing hadn't been changed :-(
When he & his mates went off to Uni, his mates mums were sobbing and wailing.
Me & Mr O were down the pub celebrating we'd got rid of the bu$$er for a couple of months!
I despair also of some of the no-mark scallies that are around these days - & unfortuantely there are too many of them who have not had guidance & discipline instilled in them by any parent(s). However - there are also a lot of good kids around who have been brought up 'proper' and do have respect. And I am proud to say that my 2 kids are amongst the latter group, as I am sure are Mrs_o's.
Oh Squaddy, don't be so bl00dy serious!!! Just a bit of fun you know.
I never coddled my son - he wouldn't have let me. Independent from almost day 1. He left home long ago - at the first opportunity, has travelled world wide (from the age of 16) (and no doubt got lost a few times) works hard and runs his own home successfully. I'm proud to be his mum in fact.
I was in fact criticised when I let my son travel like he did at such a young age.
but weere you sure?afterall uni in leeeds or the local macdonalds might sound the same?
sqd the murder thing gallls me .
dont start me on that i had that debate at the time of young rhys jones murder and was shocked to read that some users here would cover up their child murdering someone elses
i guess that tells you all you truly need to know about a person and their morals.
My point is that a teenager has difficulty in reading station notices and the female response is "bless his little heart, how sweet and endearing" wheras the male response, well myself and leggy is.....he needs a b0llocking.
I have done more stupid things than you have had "hot dinners" but I got and deserved.......a b0ll0cking.
An apprentice plumber was working on a job i was on. He had the habit of filling his mouth full of gas from a lighter then igniting it & making a flame thrower.
His lighter ran out of gas, so he tried it with the blowtorch..he forgot it was automatic ignition...'king idiot...
Mrs_o enough is enough and you have taken your fair share of stick, let Dad give him a b0llocking and move on.
As he is going to Uni. studying medicine I gather that he is in either the 1st or 2nd year in which case he will be disecting. I did one year as a Demonstrator in Anatomy and believe me it is tough for the lads. B0llocking will become part and parcel of his training, so be proud of him.
