My youngest starts school tomorrow - I may shed a manly tear!

yes he will have to learn to suffer the slings and arrows of life

Then he/she'll leave school, go to Uni, get a job and you'll be old. Blink of an eye.

Why not in september?

Good luck to him or her, he or she will soon grow up, hopefully they will look after their dad oneday m8 :)

ull be lucky if school is open ..

So much to look forward to, for you and especially for him/her.One day at a time.

Tell him to hit them back only do it first. Best learn him young.

They start the young 'uns (he's 4) after Xmas, Bridgeboy.His pushchair is for the Charity shop tomorrow too.

get used to bossy directives on sheets of paper almost daily from the headmistress

And it will cost you an arm and a leg. And a bit more.

Be prepared to have to listen to a gaggle of mothers whitering on about nothing when you drop off ,collect your kid

Though some of the mothers will be "receptive".

Oh dear, so much negativity. I am not exactly Mr Sunshine myself, but is it really that bad nowadays?

1.01 you want to ba ng one of them milfs

Guaranteed the school will be closed due to snow and all this angst will be an anti climax !

get used to rows with the missus who wants to plan who is looking after the kid in the summer holidays months in advance

save any revolting wine you have for the tombola

You're a bad man, Mr P, and will come to a bad end.

We'll all come to a bad end one day.

I know, I have already - just wanted to kick in my chains.Prostitute days - mmmm.....

My thread has been dragged into the gutter :(My boy went in.I wept. Openly.

Would you say his teacher was better in the legs or the t!ts department? This will affect his development so you now have a good idea of how your future daughter-in-law will look.

That's coming up for me too, Odi. Good on you for letting go. I shall do the same.
