Hmmmm, it's the nipper's birthday on the weekend (well, Friday) and we've clearly just moved into the next phase because there's no request for a bouncy castle, no trip to Jolly Jim's Jungle (essentially a ball pit and slide in a converted church hall).

 

No, this time the birthday request is that me and the missus buy them disposable BBQ's, sausages, burgers and then go out for the day and leave them to it. 

 

So I'd imagine most of Saturday I'll be filling in insurance forms and doing sound bites for the local news.

We are talking mid teens - I was sounded out for driving lessons and / or a scooter a year early so they could practise!

 

But unlike Tony's run of the mill progeny, they are nice well mannered exceptionally talented and gifted kids that I can trust totally as they've proven to be very mature.

 

Would it be a bad thing if I said I do occasionally stalk their twitter accounts and instagram and wotnot? That can be quite illuminating.

 

 

 

Perhaps I'll hide in the attic, or hire a drone. Or turn up in disguise with a sports casual look, flicking my fingers and saying 'yoyo biatches' quite a lot.

I've got one on the way.

 

If I found out my kid did half the stupid shit I have done (I'm in no way extreme), I'd be gutted.

 

No parents will ever know everything about what their sprogs have done, and it's a good thing really.

 

Even the good kids are weird little bell pieces occasionally.

 

And oh my god, if I have a girl.. I won't know what to do.. have you seen porn lately? :(

That's the worry / reality though isn't it.

On the one hand you want them to 'be normal' and accidentally start fires and know for real how they rate in a fight and do risky life affirming stuff. But I'd rather not actually find out about it until we are reminiscing in 20 years time.

 

I was in my 30's before I told my parents half the stuff I'd done - they genuinely had absolutely no idea (and I wasn't extreme either, probs the most vanilla guy in my local area and my group of friends).

 

As for alcohol, there is some booze in the house, not much, they are welcome to help themselves and have some beer or wine in moderation, but they generally choose not to. For my part, I reckon they've seen me drunk twice in 15 years and they've never seen me smoke. Role model and all that.

 

I tend to do my big party nights away from the house.
