Pride in your kids
|
|
My eldest, who at 15 was aimless, getting into trouble with the police, doing drugs, fighting, hated school, today got his first proper job after turning his life around.
4 years in the army (in desperation me and his mum shipped him off to Harrogate Army College when he turned 16) followed by another 4 going to Uni (despite leaving school with zero qualifications), getting a 1st and following it up with a Masters.
Today, he heard that he's got a job with Manchester Council reintegrating ex-armed forces back into society. £36k a year, too. I'm so fucking proud of him.
Any of you cunts have a similar sense of pride in your own sprogs achievements?

Do you knot what? Nice Zotaneering.

Congratulations Alfs! It must be a great feeling for you all and you should be rightfully proud.

Well done Alfs.
Sounds like he transcended his early bad parenting.

We commodified our daughter early on, thinking traditional advertising contracts etc., which worked well, like 100k pa, but then her tik tok shit took off and we rake in like 300k per month at the moment. Nightmare really with all the legal stuff and accountants.

My daughter when she was a teenager use to hang round with the wrong crowd. I focused on getting her education on track when we moved to a better catchment area and her grades improved. Now she a Director of an Industrial Cleaning firm gaining contracts with the likes of the MOD etc. Really proud of her!

My daughter fucked off back to Australia with her mum when she was one. It broke my my heart but her mum was 15 years older than me (I was 17) and told me at the start of our relationship that she was always going back to her architect husband after their two year sabbatical.
She did tell me that she was on the pill (when obviously she wasn't) and the sabbatical was because he was 15 years older than her, couldn't make a child and fucked a student 15 years younger than him. I found this out about 10 years later.
What you don't know at 17 and fucking a Cambridge graduate eh?
Anyway, my daughter is the light of my life and a clinical psychologist, her husband is a marine biologist and they gave me the greatest gift I've ever known, my granddaughter last year.
I've bellyached for over thirty years that they couldn't live further away but they live in a remote place with zero covid. Headspinning how life goes and the worst news is the best news if you give it enough time.

My lad, at 12, farted on a packed bus on Blackpool Pleasure beach and emptied the top deck. Quality.

If it was one of the open top ones, that’s even more impressive.
