My oldest has in the last 3 years moved out, moved to wales, moved back again, moved to Belfast, bought a house and sold a house…..and she has a great job and now she is at home until she decides what she wants to do next. The younger has gone and moved in with the boyfriend, has a decent job on good money and is happy for a minute, if she changes her mind she just comes home…..whatever, couldn’t give a f**k as long as they are happy. Our motto is, do what you like because you can always just land back here if you want and there will never, ever be any questions asked because this is your home. I had kids, that means I signed up for life….period. You can f**k right off , I don't want mine coming back . I've got pretty spoiled with it just being me and the Mrs. The quiet life is great . 15 minutes ago, mackem said: Your kids will be fine mate,your a decent bloke with good values,my problem as a parent is I never wanted them to struggle in life so I always pushed them to perform well in life and education,I realised with mass immigration comes mass competition for jobs,life’s hard for kids and the future is going to get harder. I never wanted mine to struggle , mainly because growing up , we didn't have a pot to piss in , and being dirt poor is f***ing miserable. We always tried to teach them to be pretty independent, because you never know when you won't be here to help them. Even down to things like their 21st birthday presents . I bought them things that won't lose value , and could be easily cashed out if the shit really hit the fan , and I wasn't around to bail them out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Exactly the same here, my eldest is back with us after her split with her bloke, it will always remain the safety net and first place to call.. we've got more than enough space, it's bonkers in here sometimes but I kind of like it that way..lol 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
