Older dad

[Older dad @Theolddad]

Sent to bed early she was yawning. Tears and tantrums. Complained that mummy doesn't like children! She said I don't take take seriously

[Older dad @Theolddad]

Back home.thank god.ran into my arms at the airport and gave me big hug and kisses.very tired little girl. No school tomorrow.much too late

[Older dad @Theolddad]

She apparently took a button from a haberdashery shop without paying. Her mum took her back to the shop to return and apologise. Right thing

[Older dad @Theolddad]

Phoned to say going to chocolate shop. Will u bring some back for me I say? It'll melt daddy. Ok if it's going to melt, you eat it. Ok

[Older dad @Theolddad]

Gone to see her grandma with her mum. Lost without them. Starting cleaning her shoes and tidying her school clothes..

[Older dad @Theolddad]

Caught her telling porkies. Told her she's been doing that a lot lately. Yes she said, and sometimes I get away with it....

[Older dad @Theolddad]

Boyfriend has apparently been dumped. I'm in love with someone else she says. Who, I ask? You, she says. Cannot better that answer..

[Older dad @Theolddad]

I've got a boyfriend in school dad. Ok I say, I'll have to check him out. You're not my father you know. I am.youre not - you're my dad!!

[Older dad @Theolddad]

Because we were late for school, I went back to my old job of dressing her for one day only. Bliss. Sitting on my knee jabbering away.

[Older dad @Theolddad]

Sunday.up at 530. First time I've beaten her downstairs.why do I have to have cereal? You have toast! Have toast then.. Don't like toast..

[Older dad @Theolddad]

The homework battle has started. Get it done on Friday straight after school or leave it til last thing Sunday night. Let battle commence

[Older dad @Theolddad]

Don't like toast!. What! Who doesn't like toast? Told how my mum used to chase me down the path on schooldays trying to force toast on me!

[Older dad @Theolddad]

Omg - someone bought her shoes with heels. Heels! Now I feel my age in a big way. Told her to take them off immediately. Wife laughed at me

[Older dad @Theolddad]

Convinced the Disney channel to blame. Can't take her eyes off it. Breakfast, dressed, hair, teeth, then television. No excuses. Big guy..

[Older dad @Theolddad]

The sock saga continues. Convinced she has OCD. Gave in and did them myself today. She was in laughing hysterics as I forced them on

[Older dad @Theolddad]

She took nearly 10 mins to put her socks on this morning. Itching to leap up and do them for her. Concentration with tongue out.

[Older dad @Theolddad]

Having dressed her every day for 8 yrs, comes as a shock to hear her say that she is doing it herself from now on as she's a big girl. Lost

[Older dad @Theolddad]

Will dad be in a wheelchair when he's older? Says robs. Yes says wife, will you push him? Of course, but won't he be too heavy? Priceless

[Older dad @Theolddad]

Wife and robs gone to a brownie meeting. Obviously dad doesn't fit in there! Left to do housework and cooking

[Older dad @Theolddad]

Watched dr.who dinosaurs on a spaceship. Robs too scared and watched from behind sofa. Takes me back to 1963. Different sofa, same fright
