It's my last day of work before annual leave and then maternity leave.
I don't have to go back into my office until about March.

I hate you.

Well, if it's any compensation I have to look after a baby 24/7 for 8 months of that.

that does mildly console me
I was on the train last night and these kids were running up and down shouting and screaming and the parents weren't doing anything, it was driving me mad and I actually thought 'crackhouse wouldn't put up with this shit'.

I hope to get my kids so well trained
that I can do the Rock's eyebrow and they'll both just sit in silence immediately.

it's called The People's Eyebrow

I was going to say that but wasn't sure if people would get it or not!

Sadly the level of discipline required for such a miracle
will get your kids taken off you these days. It's political correctness gone mad - the occasional cigarette burn and weekly flogging never did me any harm.

I was rarely actually struck by my parents
but the mere thought of it was enough.

psychological abuse is much more effective, you're right

My dad was away at sea most of the time
but all it took was my mum to say "I'll tell your dad" and we'd be good. We didn't figure that he couldn't do anything from where he was.

The threat of the Captain would keep anyone in line.
I used to get smacked, but only when I'd done something really naughty. My sister and I had a lot of discipline when we were younger, some stuff I spose people would get outraged at now (the smacking) but we've grown up perfectly fine, normal, well behaved people.



Well, she has anyway.
(Applebite Uh! A cow!, Fri 4 Jun 2010, 9:34, Reply)

Why?
At some point in the next few weeks she has to push another human being out of her chuff, and then she has to spend the next 21 years cleaning up after its shit.

Pity her, pity all us parents

My lttle 'un was born by C-section too
They're not pretty, and I sincerely hope that Captain V is prepared to do EVERYTHING for CHCB and the baby for the first couple of days. It takes hours for the epidural to wear off, and the poor cow's going to feel rougher than a builder's armpit for a few days.

I hope he looks over the sheet they put up though, looking inside your missus' guts being held apart with calipers is an experience I'll never forget

At NCT antenatal class we were asked to draw our "ideal birth experience".
I had to wrestle the crayon off him to stop him drawing the chestburster scene from Alien. He seems very excited about seeing my insides.

Aye, most likely that'll be the only way possible. I'm finding out for sure on Monday.

I'm just bitter towards anyone who doesn't have to sit in an office day in day out
even if she will pay for it forever.
