Hi

I have had along day in work and I could sleep for like a whole month so as my reward I treated myself to a couple of cans of Carling to wind down...

Being firmly rooted on the couch I nearly asked my 7 year old to go get me a can out the fridge :eek: :eek: stopped myself though and went myself

Was just a gut feeling that it was wrong, should I know why as I said am tired will deffo be taking zeds by 10

:D

You have a 7 year old wife?? That's not uncouth, it's in a completely different league :mrgreen:
 
It starts off with getting you a beer.....
Then what , getting him to light your fags! :LOL:

Well my general rule is "Never ask anybody to do something for you that you can easily do for yourself". (Except when she offers of course. That's a whole new ball game. ;) ;) ;) ) Why? Because the day will come when you really do need somebody to do something for you and if they've grown sick of being used as a gopher they're liable to make an excuse and leave. :( :( :(

It's a concept I've always tried to instill in our two but with only partial success. Thinking back though, I suspect that either of them might, at the age of seven, have volunteered to bring me a Carlsberg Special. :D :D :D

i dont see anything wrong with it, its not as if you are mega drunk and abusing him, kids should be ok knowing their dad likes a can of beer, its hardly a disaster is it, i have got one of mine to get me a bottle of beer from the fridge, they enjoy messing about and trying to open it etc, its all about "how" you "ask" rather than shout and demand
 
It also promotes a healthy , responsible attitude to alcohol and trains them for the social side of drinking when they are older.

ie when out in teh pub , always make sure you get them in for dad
 
There is down side to this you realise, as they get older they expect a taxi service, mine is 32yrs now and still wants a lift down town on a regular basis. :cry:

Sell the car. :idea: :idea: :idea:

On second thoughts, that's a bit extreme. If you know in advance when you're likely to get dumped on, be prepared. Be in the bath with a can of Carlsberg Special. :) :) :)
