Superthread LIX: Honouring Clifford & AG - Will they or won't they?

[Dani]

Couldn't decide between packet of tim tams or going to the gym this morning.

Chose both

 

[Joker's Wild]

Tim Tams for Breaky?

 

[Drew-Sta]

lol the old "you get to go to work and have a break while Im here with them all day" line. Classic wife guilt trip

Honestly, Ive spent a week looking after my 2 full time when the missus had a seminar she wanted to run and its a tough gig looking after kids full time (I imagine with one its a little easier you soft c**ks lol) but its not like its all that terrible. I think its more about the wife losing their identity a bit. Having limited adult contact and watching the wiggles all day will do your head in

Yeah, I think its the loss identity mainly. I get that, but then I think its also a matter of 'where do you draw your identity from?'

SMBN is a pretty good case study of maintaining identity whilst raising a kid..

Tim Tams for Breaky?

Morning tea.

 

[thorson1987]

I get the whole "why don't you stay home and look after the kids while I work"

I turn around and say "if you can find a job immediately that pays the same as I get go ahead"

 

[thorson1987]

And f**k off BM

 

[Dani]

I want a baby.

Someone make a baby with me.

Who?

Didgi seems like an available and caring young chap.

 

[Dani]

Didgi is young enough to be the actual baby!

 

[Joker's Wild]

Not sure Didgi knows how babies are made

 

[Rhino_NQ]

i think a small version of me would be quite terrifying

 

[Dani]

i think a small version of me would be quite terrifying

Because it would not be so small?

 

[sensesmaybenumbed]

Because it would not be so small?

So more terrifying for you then?

 

[Dani]

Diabetics usually have big babies. This thought terrifies me.

I can't have kids till I get my back fixed anyways

 

[Drew-Sta]

I get the whole "why don't you stay home and look after the kids while I work"

I'm going to use that. Can I crash at yours if she kicks me out? :lol:

Staaahhhp.

Living the dream!

i just pictured the rhino scene from ace ventura lol

Happy (?) Remembrance Day, folks. Since all of us are working at 11am and can't exactly stop in the middle of class for a moment's silence...

(f**king savages)

... we're doing the Remembrance stuff at 11pm. That's 11am somewhere, right?

I'll be reading the Ode to Remembrance and one of my co-workers will play the Last Post on the bugle. Nice little tradition we've got here.

Do they read out the entire three stanzas usually? Or just the 'age shall not weary them' section?

 

[sensesmaybenumbed]

I'm going to use that. Can I crash at yours if she kicks me out? :lol:

You won't live through it right now - wait a month or two to try that one out.

Indeed.

I'd bloody happily be a house husband.

 

[BunniesMan]

I'm gunna have the sort of marriage where I tell her what to do and when to do it...in my head right after I do as I'm told.
