It doesn't matter what you tell your kids, they never listen. :(

Hmm. I'm having trouble with the "get a good job" part. :-/

Don't worry about it, you'll find one because you're clever enough to.
Just thank your lucky stars that you ain't gonna be a dad.

Ah, the infinite joys of parenthood: stress, self-doubt, and being
unappreciated. Yay. :-.

Oh, don't get me wrong, it's great when they're pre-teens, and then all
of a sudden they think they're a 'man' when they get to 18. How wrong they
are. :/
BTW, you're getting warmer Andrew.

Oh I don't know, I'm not sure I'd enjoy being woken up every 2 hours. ;-)
("I slept like a baby last night." "...what, you woke up every 2 hours??")
And in general, being around kids just tends to annoy me. Rapidly.

At this point I'd come up with some speech about how people are
different and not everyone is like this or something... but then, that's
not really much help, is it?
(Just as one data point... I'm 28, not 18, and I doubt I'll *ever* be a
"man".)

Maybe because they're not your own. I think it's different when you
have your own and they're at that age when you can play-fight, and they
*always* win! :)

Not really. It hasn't actually sunk in properly yet for me, but last
night, *my* life changed, (yet again). <sigh>
I've got some serious thinking to do, and quite honestly, I'm done with
thinking.

Well, to be honest, I would agree with that. I'm not really sure what
would constitute as a 'man', but I guess getting through life's struggles
'yourself' is a good start.

Mmm, possibly. Jamie keeps telling me how cool it is. (Then again, Jamie
has two beautiful little girls with long gold hair and a smiling
addiction...)

Well, yeah, it's nice to see your kids being fed when they need it, and
it's nice feeding them too. (Of course, it's not so nice with the changing,
heh).

I totally understand him. He'll think differently when they get older
though.

Hehe ... actually kids annoyed me, then we had one.
He gets on my nerves sometimes, but for the most part he's pretty neat.
I'll just be glad when he reaches the "communicate with real words"
stage instead of the "standing in front of you pitching an epic fit"
stage he's in now.

Made (hopefully) easier by Dad.
Thing is, he's only known her about 3 months, and they're SOOOO in
luuuurve, and now they're talking marriage.
Definately not good.

LOL! What a glowing recommendation! :-D
I remember when one of the girls at work brought her twin baby boys in
to work. For some reason, one of them always cries, and the other one is
always completely laid back and quiet. And, unexplicably, as soon as I
walked into the room, both of them were like radar dishes tracking me
across the room. They were both *fascinated* by me.
I have several theories:
1. They were wondering who the **** that weird person was.
2. I am unbelievably attractive.
3. My ultramarine shirt was the only thing in the room loud enough for
their tiny eyeballs to actually detect consistently.

Hahahaha... ooohhhh if only you knew! ;-)
I made the mistake of saying "hello" to one of the kids next door. Now
the sucker won't leave me alone! Every time he sees me, he comes over
and starts talking at me. It doesn't matter if I talk back or completely
ignore him, he just keeps talking and talking and talking and...

LOL! I remember being about 4 years old in a shop with my Grandma and I
'lost' her, (she was around another aisle, and I'd wondered off), and then I
started to get upset. I walked around the end of an aisle and thought I'd
spotted my Grandma with her back to me, so walked up to her and held tightly
onto her coat. The lady looked around and down at me and I clearly knew this
was *not* my Grandma! Man, I cried my eyes out, lol! :)

Yes. He's just too young and so is she. Don't forget, this is the guy that
moved out before Christmas to move in with her AND her parents. The parents
think it's fine and are happy about their daughter expecting. I have never
met them, but I think a few choice words will be said when I finally do
speak to them. You know, after last night, (there were tears on my son's
part), I fully expect the father to ring me soon, (or even knock at the
door - Judgement Day!)

Yes. She's a "grrrrl", as she describes herself.
Football fanatic. Likes kickboxing. Epic fan of Buffy the Vampire
Slayer. Loves Harry Potter. Her daughter has a Gryffindor scarf. Likes
emo music. Do NOT piss her off!!

I remember a similar story. We went shopping at Christmas. Now,
obviously when you're 4 years old, being in a shoe shop is unimaginably
boring. But I was mesmerised by the brightly coloured lights and the
shiny tinsel. Damnit, I LOVE SHINY THINGS!! >_<
After a while, I looked around and became aware that I was the only
member of my family still in the shop. I found this... disturbing.
Man, I wondered around the shopping center for ages before I was found
by a member of staff! o_O

Hmm...
I remember when Emma and Amy were pregnant. Both of them thought it was
a big joke. They seemed to think that it would be like playing a new
game or something - like playing with dolls. Emma was all "look at me,
I'm a big girl now", showing off her belly and all the rest of it. "Look
at me, look what I've done!"
She didn't seem to find it quite so funny when she was laying in a
maturnity warn bawling her eyes out yelling "mum! it really hurts!" (Uh,
you expected...??) And that was just when the contractions started
warming up. I don't know what she was like when it was time to start
actually doing some *work*... (I only saw a few seconds of the video.
Mercifully!)
Since then, Amy has had something like 4 children with her on-again,
off-again boyfriend who's never really around much. My dad keeps saying
disparagingly that "one of these days she's going to work out what keeps
causing that". Amy isn't the sharpest tool in the box... (!)
Hmm, I still remember going round to my dad's house one time, and
suddenly coming face to face with Zoe casually laying on the sofa. I'm
not sure why she was there. Anyway, last time I saw her, she was about
11 or something. On this day, she *still* looked about 11. Except that
she was massively, *massively* pregnant. I mean, the bulge seemed far
bigger than _she_ was! o_O
As you can imagine, walking around the corner and seeing that kind of
unsettled me a little...
(And at all these events, I remember thinking "what the HELL?? I can't
even get *near* a girl! WTF am I doing so catastrophically wrong?!")

Yeah well, something isn't ringing the happy bells with me. I mean who
the hell lets a stranger move into their house and then sleep in the same
bed as their daughter when they've ONLY JUST MET!! WHO?!
No one normal, that's for sure. Should be interesting.

Yep, but you do know that there's a teen culture in the UK that says they
'have' to have sex? It's almost a right of passage with their peers, (or
is), and this is the trap that my son fell into. He just couldn't be left
out of the pack now could he, eh?
Frickin' Fool.

Yeah, not pretty until you're holding the babe in your arms. The worst
part of it is listening to the other women in other rooms screaming and
swearing (and I mean SWEARING) their heads off - it sounds SO much worse
than it does for your wife, (at least in my experience, that is).

Have you ever looked a girl in the eye for 20/30 seconds? Apparently,
if they do the same back, then you're in with half a chance, so go look a
few women in the eye.

Ok, lol, I won't! Sounds like my kind of woman though, apart from the emo
music, that is.

Yeah, I know what you mean...
I actually remember some dude at school telling me "Hey man, you should
start smoking. Nobody would ever expect a little yes-boy like you to do
something like that. It'd make people respect you." As you can see, I
immediately took up this insightful offer... o_O

Heh. Reminds me of that film I saw. Guy and his girl just sitting around
in the maternity ward, late evening. They're just quietly talking when
they hear some screaming in the background. And the two of them are
looking at each other trying not to kill themselves laughing. Eventually
the guy is, like, "haha... ha... aww, poor lady... man!"

I met these three girls and got on VERY BADLY with them. As in, I wanted
nothing to do with them, and they hated me back. I just wanted to stay
the hell *away*. (And, given what I've just told you, can you blame me??)

Hmm. I just saw our accountant walk past in a cute little purple skirt.
Maybe I should go stalk - uh, follow her...?

She's a good girl. She doesn't do the whole "caring, supportive" bit,
and don't you *dare* question her beliefs (wiccan, anyone?), but other
than that she's a real nice girl.
Yet another girl I failed to get off with. :-(
(Apparently she likes the Bad Boys though. And I'm about as far from
that as it is possible to get!)

There is a German word for people like you - Notgeil (not = emergency, geil
= horny)
Seriously, some thoughts are better kept to yourself :-)

Well, to me, it is off-the-wall, I mean, they could be satanists or
something equally sinister for all I know. Ok, that's taking it a touch too
far, I know, but hey...

Yeah, well good for you that you didn't. That's peer-pressure for you,
and that was some time ago. It's even worse now with all kinds of
'life-experiences'. Look at the young drinking culture here. They have no
idea what they're doing to themselves. I do.

No, not at all. Yeah, I've met them too - lots. I see them pushing
their pushchairs down to the local shop to get their £6+ packet of fags all
the time, infants in tow.

Is she married? Do you get on with her ok? Heck man, for the hell of it,
just ask her if she would like to go out for a drink sometime. Gofrit.

Well, it came down to the fact that the guy who said that to me was a
total moron. ;-)

Heh. She's not married. AFAIK she doesn't have anybody yet. (Not that
I'd know any different if she did.) She has a reputation for being very
enthusiastic about blokes, but there never seems to be any substance to
it. I think it's just bored girls' office humour. I get on kind of OK
with her, but... she's a tad strange.
I think I did once suggest we meet up outside work sometime. She seemed
excruciatingly embarressed, and said no. Oh well!

Hey, that's nice that you get on with her, she does sound nice like you
say. Don't lose touch.
As for wiccan, that's ok, they're just white witches who are into nature
more than anything else I think.

Let the bad boy out! :) Next time the printer doesn't work, just pick it
up and lob it to the floor. That'll get someones attention. Heh...

Define 'strange'. Everyone I know has some quirk or whatever. It's what
makes us unique and 'individuals'.

OMG! That was then, this is now! Ask her again!! It's only for a drink,
just ask her, if she says yes, then bingo, you're dating a woman even if
it's just once. If she says no, so what?

Doesn't matter, man! All you need is love! :)
It happened about the same to me and, though love is now gone and we
parted ways, my daughter is the best thing in my life. I got a job
*after* having a child and I've been progressing further ever since,
with a house of my own, gadgets and much fun with her. You can't stop
life from suddenly getting in the way of your big plans. Everything
just falls into place.
Congratulations! You'll get to love the little brat in time and will
see a bright change operating on your son... :D

The too-young argument irritates me. It's not about age, it's about
maturity, which isn't really tied to age. [insert conservative grousing
about how the liberals won't let people raise their kids properly these
days, too much government, more-than-a-little racist statement that is sworn
to not be racist, things used to be so much better, etc.] [insert "won't
someone please think of the children?", etc.]

Yeah, at least Invisible goes outside. Me? Was taken to go shopping by
people met thru playing D&D/Shadowrun (that game on hiatus for a long while
now) on the 3rd around 11 pm, a cute church-soliciting girl knocked on my
door on the 10th and just stood there grinning while I tried to figure out a
polite way of saying "I have no idea how to interact with people let alone
cute girls so pls go away kthxbye", I checked the mail on the 14th or so
around 1 am, took out the trash on the 25th, checked the mail again on the
27th, and paid my lot rent on the 28th, nervously chatting with the old lady
there about the economy for a few minutes. Apart from that I've not left my
trailer, let alone seen/talked to anybody all month. (See also:

C'est la vie, eh?
