Hafnia Posted September 30, 2016 Report Share Posted September 30, 2016 In mattel play area in the Albert Dock.... absolutely brilliant for kids who are into fireman sam, Thomas the tank engine or bob the builder. My 2 year old is loving it. It's what it's all about isn't it. Before you know it they just want to play out with their mates.

Before you know it they've all left home, Josh went Wednesday, not permanently in all likelihood (although it might turn out to be). Seems like only yesterday we were explaining to him how Thomas managed to get from Sodor to Minehead railway station . markjazzbassist, rubecula and Matt 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One minute you stress because of lack of sleep and time to yourself the next thing they are flying the nest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeO Posted September 30, 2016 Report Share Posted September 30, 2016 I hear this all the time. One minute you stress because of lack of sleep and time to yourself the next thing they are flying the nest. Crazy thing is that when you're the kid that time lasts for ever, like summer holidays from school do; you're living in the same time scale but the perception is so different. Similar thing happens when you're in hospital as a patient. It is soooo boring the days last absolutely for ever but for the nurses they skip by in no time flat because they're so busy, weird. There's a character in Catch-22 (best book in history) called Dunbar who actively seeks out boredom as a means to extend his life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe that is supposed to be how it works... 10 years at one stage was 100% of you life. But 30 to 40 it's only a quarter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cornish Steve Posted October 27, 2016 Report Share Posted October 27, 2016 I hear this all the time. One minute you stress because of lack of sleep and time to yourself the next thing they are flying the nest. The youngest of our six left for college a few weeks ago. It's not quite an empty nest, because one of our sons still lives at home, but we're getting close to it. Now, of course, my wife wants to spend much of her time with our two little grand-daughters.

Cornish Steve Posted October 27, 2016 Report Share Posted October 27, 2016 Before our oldest was born, my brother used to ask, "Did you not get to that page of the book yet?" After our sixth was born, he suggested, "You might want to turn to the next page of the book." rubecula 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rubecula Posted October 28, 2016 Report Share Posted October 28, 2016 sadly John is too young to be my father, my name is not Luke and I am not his father either. Actually, thinking about it maybe John is not sad about this at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
