El Presidente Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 Being a parent is not always easy. I tip my hat to my wife Angela who does a magnificent job but as a father I often feel I am getting in the way of a well oiled machine Case 1 My youngest is 10 and playing rugby. His coach is the hottest Rugby coach in the history of mankind. Miss ****** is young/gorgeous and I swear she turned up at last weeks 8am game straight from the nightclub complete with miniskirt, little jacket, fishnet stockings and pumps. My wife texts me mid game to see how the game is going. I shoot her an iphone photo of the coach and say "no idea" .....apparently that is poor form. Case 2. Youngest had an exam yesterday. I got home not late but lateish. He joins me in the loungeroom and tells me he is set for his biology assignment. The kid is a borderline genius (he tells me so and his marks raise no questions otherwise). I am catching the last remnants of a Zombie movie (Zombieland?). Wife yells out "Is Tom studying?" and I reply ....."Just watching a documentary on DNA transformation honey" She walks in and I quickly change the channel to Sky News. Unfortunatley it landed on a simulated sex scene from "Family Guy". Case 3. I may have forgotten to pick up a kid (one of mine) from after school Sport yesterday. Apparently there is a discussion I have to have this weekend. Wish me luck.
mkz Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 Apparently there is a discussion I have to have this weekend. It was nice knowing you Rob...
rfenst Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 Rob, Face the facts: You are an amateur and are in way over your head.
BobKincaid Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 Apparently there is a discussion I have to have this weekend. Wish me luck. I'd rather hear "Time for your annual prostate exam" than "We need to talk." You poor devil! You've painted yourself into a fine corner, you have. My sympathies to you and Ken (the latter for the time you'll be urban camping on his couch).
First Lady Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 My bet is with Ang just make sure the business is left to me and you will be fine on Monday
Colt45 Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 Apparently there is a discussion I have to have this weekend. Just tell her you have to go to man fest with Smithy to promote shoo-away at the BBQ event, and you won't be back until Monday.
pedrodepacas Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 Sorry Prez, you lost me at... My youngest is 10 and playing rugby. His coach is the hottest Rugby coach in the history of mankind. Miss ****** is young/gorgeous and I swear she turned up at last weeks 8am game straight from the nightclub complete with miniskirt, little jacket, fishnet stockings and pumps.
investandprosper Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 I think a photo of the coach is needed to accurately gauge the level of trouble you may be in My parents left me at basketball camp once, picked me up at 9:00pm when it ended at 6:00pm. It builds character!
El Presidente Posted June 10, 2011 Author Posted June 10, 2011 I think a photo of the coach is needed to accurately gauge the level of trouble you may be in Yeah Posting a photo of the coach on the internet is somehow going to improve my situation
El Presidente Posted June 10, 2011 Author Posted June 10, 2011 I should note the Ref for the game was as stunned as I was. Knowing the Ref I introduced him to the coach at half time. We won by 30 points Post game I introduced the opposition coaches who were young lads I had coached in previous years at another school. All in all ...I am but the good samaritan

mazolaman Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 Times change. My rugby coach was 6 ft 3,with a nose that was wandering all over his face,and ears like cabbages.
Rogers72 Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 1.) I've never seen a female rugby coach...how certain are you that you were even at a rugby match? 2.) I'm fairly certain that sex is one of the most important facets of biology. 10yrs old is the perfect age to ease them into their never-ending education on the topic. Tell the wife you just felt more comfortable with the Family Guy explaining the finer points of sex to your child than his father. I think she'll agree!!! 3.) Blame your forgetting the kid on that rag-tag crew you have working for you. It's impossible to find good help these days and you are virtually left to running a multi-national corporation by yourself. The stress is taking it's toll!
benjaminbbush Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 Is Smithy's couch still available?? I am sure the Smithy will greco-roman wrestle him for it.
CDNeh Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 Case 3. I may have forgotten to pick up a kid (one of mine) from after school Sport yesterday. Apparently there is a discussion I have to have this weekend. Wish me luck. Rob, can you have Smithy video the discussion/LECTURE, I am sure we can all learn from what transpires. CDNeh

Yes, Have Lisa in the wife's corner, great idea Surely what is needed is prior to the discussion to raise a question about a coming trip to Milan and Rome, ask the wife to arrange everything and get two quiet months, maybe even have Lisa call her and mistakenly ask her when the trip is scheduled to, then she will forget the mishap with the Rugby and other things surely to come. Trust me, I have done worse and am still married to my first wife.
Plato Posted June 13, 2011 Posted June 13, 2011 I think a photo of the coach is needed to accurately gauge the level of trouble you may be in My parents left me at basketball camp once, picked me up at 9:00pm when it ended at 6:00pm. It builds character! LOL. Story of my childhood. In grade school, after basketball practice I was always the last one with a ride home. Id sit for hours hoping my parents would finally make it. But your right, it builds character. You kind of learn to be independent after a while. But hey, I turned out fine! Just remember to Remind him of thr golden rule: that when the creepy old man arrives in a 1983 Buick Lasabre and says "Hey there little boy, Ive got some candy in my car." to just havw your son spray him in the face with bear mace, then steal the guys wallet, and use the money to call that Jamacian cab driver.
