Mate don't ever stop calling them and making an effort to seeing them. My old man has never put in an effort to see me (he lives 3 hrs away not on the other side of the planet) or call me and it's his loss.

I'm at a resort spending 2 nights with the missus. I expeced to be in the pool and outdoor spa, 99% n@ked in my budgies, but it's blowing a gale
the power's out and there's a severe storm warning for Perth.
Who did this? hahaha
Firstly I have to say I don't know the parent feeling of this situation as I still have a few years to go.....but
....from a son point of view I moved away from my parents at 12 and went overseas to my grandparents and then moved away from my grandparents when I was 16 and have not ever looked back. I have learned life skills most 30 yr olds didn't have.
Rossco, He will be right mate, I think these days adults don't give the young ones enough credit . We baby them too much, wrap them in cotton wool and give them all they need instead of letting them earn everything they need ...like old school. Respect is number one mate...lots of kids these days don't have it!
Good luck mate and I am sure he will be right as he has a great old man!
Thanks, bro, and the rest of you lot. Really appreciate it.Quote:

Hey rossco
I've skipped a few posts but to cut a long story short our rug rats are adults and in the process of separating. Not easy for us parents so I hear you.
What to do ...... Booze, patrols, porn, shooting da breeze, more porn :), get a decent gaming PC (not this kiddie console stuff :p) hit me up for some battlefield 3 or call of duty and go shoot & bait some people online, it's funny as watching mego getting into his gimp suit ;):)

I have had to move states for the second time and have seen it from both sides the first time we moved here from Perth my mum used to look after my now eight yr old daughter 3 times a week so was pretty much like a second mum to her and it broke my mums heart as she was not only loosing her son but her grand daughter/ daughter and daughter in law all in one my dad as well but he is like me looks at the bigger pic and deals with it in our own way. The second time after being back in Perth for another 3 years my second daughter was also in the pic. It is amazing how much it can affect the kids too you don't realise until they see them again and they are both like different kids. It also makes it harder as my sisters eldest daughter is only 3 months younger than out youngest and they pretty much grew up together and were the best of friends.
Sorry bloke. I've given out too much info already. lolQuote:

Since we're talking men's business - and to create a slight change on the topic - I have 4 kids - 2 boys 9 and 11 and two twin girls now 10 weeks old. They were in hospital for nearly 4 weeks due to being premature by 4 weeks and I can tell you doesn't matter how tough you are that turns you into the world's biggest sook. Another men's topic but a sensitive one - off for the snip next Thursday so might need some "support" (or bags of frozen peas) after that one!
