Well
obviously not everyone is in agreement...

So which is better for kids then hey?

Sitting in a house with your 20 a day mother and step dad with the best games to play with and being the envy of the street, never having to say Please and thanks

Or

Seeing your father for 2 days in 30 (not their or my choice) being read to, doing homework going out and learning about how to behave in a normal world like you can't live off the state and if you want nice things you have to get a job. going out to learn about animals at the zoo or a walk in the park and looking at trees etc.

I'm not a bad father - I put more time in to my twins in 48hrs than a lot of people say they do with theirs, what pisses me off about them is that every time I pick them up it's like having a new set of kids again and it takes 12hrs to mould them into kids that people look at and say I wish mine were that well behaved.

Maybe I could have worded the first bit better? but there you go.

Ps: @ ancrenne - bloody right I expect my kids to say thanks, that's one of the basic manners I try to teach them, you try having none for a week and seeing how quickly people stop doing things for you.
