There is a TV programme on as I type this called 'One Born Every Minute'. It's recorded at St James hospital in Leeds where my daughter is a medical photographer. But she also does a load of promotional photography as well. In this weeks episode Myleene Klass 'opened' the new birthing pool and there's my daughter on the TV recording the event. And she's the only female photographer! Pride just doesn't cover it really  ;D

Woohoo!  ;D

T is sitting next to me playing his toy drum.  He keeps hitting his drumsticks together and yelling "1, 2, 3, 4" and then hitting the drums.  He's so freaking awesome.

Teach him this. Simple enough drumming, and yet The Asmo approves.

That's pretty much how I got started. Got an old drum from my grandfather, who conducted the local marching band. Drummed the whole house out of their minds. Then started learning how to play properly.

It's pretty much a certainty that T is going to grow up to play something.  My dad is a musician, and T loves going over to his house and playing guitar, drums, and the keyboard.  Music, Batman, and pirates are his passions so far.   :)

:D Back when I was a younger teenager, my dad looked me in the eye and said "please tell me you won't go boy crazy and start coming home at all hours of the night after dates with some silly boy, none of that feeling up and making out crap with them, or I'll take a shotgun to him." And I looked him in the eye right back and happily promised. It's a promise I've oddly had very little trouble keeping.  ;D

^ and how did he react the first time you brought a busty blonde home??  :D

Oh, crikey, I've got all that boyfriend (or gf) stuff to come. Any sage advice anyone? (girls with experience of possessive Dads (or well-measured Dads) welcome...).

My boy certainly seems to have an eye for the girls already. He can be some other Dads problem ::) [/sexist]

1) make sure you can talk about sex in a rational manner to your kids!
2) they WILL experiment!
3) they have significant pressures you will not have experienced e.g. phones, facebook and internet porn
4) remind your daughters that there are 2 types of boys. rude ones and polite ones, but both want to get in their knickers they're just using different tactics.
5) good luck!

"We've thought of life by analogy with a journey, with pilgrimage which had a serious purpose at the end, and the THING was to get to that end; success, or whatever it is, or maybe heaven after you're dead. But, we missed the point the whole way along; It was a musical thing and you were supposed to sing, or dance, while the music was being played.
