Awww.
Kids are funny.
My son came home today and told me he is so looking forward to going to school tomorrow (unusual for him, usually he is whining to go with dad to the football) and when I said why? He said look what Amelia gave me and produced a piece of torn out exercise book with "You are my friend. Can I be your girlfriend?" with my sons initials in a heart, written on it in childish scrawl. He is upstairs writing his reply right now.

My lad, who is 5, had a girl round for tea last week. After tea, they played dancing & musical statues. Jeeeez. I didn't have a bird round my house until I was 19.

Not sure if you are being serious or not, but if you are - until what age? Do you really resent it now? That others were on the park playing football and you had to go to school? Until now my son has appreciated the extra two weeks off school at holiday time but now he wants to go with dad to Leeds etc.

Me? Serious? I did not resent it in the slightest. However, from what I have gathered, your son doesn't go to boarding school. A short weekend, we stayed at school and only went home on Sundays after chapel. Saturday we either played sport or went on arranged activities. Long weekeds were fine. Finish lessons at about 12.30 and then go home, returning Sunday eve.
Didn't resent it in the slightest. Nice to be able to spend time with your class/housemates. Afterall, come Uni etc. you don't have the benefit of having all your childhood/school friends around you.
The best bit was the long holidays!
Edit: I do regret not getting to more games at the Goldstone. I averaged about 8 a season from 13-18 years old. I missed the last game at the Goldstone
Our cricket got rained off and a mad dash to Hove, but I couldn't afford the touts tickets. £90 
So I had to watch it from above the East Stand. Tears disguied by the raindrops as the final whistle blew.

A few schools in Seaford have lessons on Saturdays. Crazy idea if you ask me.

All this "out of the mouth of babes" stuff........I must be going wrong somewhere.
At the table this evening for dinner, the 8 year old smothered his dinner in tomato sauce (looked like he had slaughtered a pig by the time he,d finished ) and just complained about the 6 year old being slow. The 6 year old just pushed the food around his plate saying he wasn,t hungry(can,t really blame him......my wifes cooking reminds me of Wendy Craig in Butterflies). The 4 year old took great delight in "accidentally" letting the food fall off her fork onto the floor, and the nearly 1 year old (who is teething and has a cold.....with snot running down her nose into her mouth and a green bogey hanging from her left nostril, suspiciously similar to the over cooked brocolli on my plate) just looked bemused by the whole thing and shouts some incoherrant nonsense.
All in all, dinner lasted about 45 minutes and apart from me refereeing the odd spat and argument between them, I can,t remember one endearing comment.

used to despise the whole kid thing-until i met the future mrs bn3 and her little lad,it took time but i now feel like i can encourage him to be someone who can make a positive impact on the world he lives in-and thats a damn good feeling,his old man is a spurz fan who never bothered with him,not evena shirt etc in the first two years were together,so when arsenal won the league and barclays had the trophy in their north street branch it was too good an offer to refuse so i got him the kit and had 3 polaroid pictures of him next to the prem trophy in his new arsenal kit-one for us one for him and one for his old man,who moaned about it no end!the good thing is his grandad has taken him to three albion away games this year and he's began to enjoy the singing thing etc,as much as i want him to be a gooner i would prefer him to be able to watch his team week in week out without having to get a mortgage,also now i have a daughter of one it all seems bloody scary especially considering it will cost us 150 plus just for tickets to our first game as a family at arsenal-so i hope we/you get falmer.
kids are bloody annoying but fantastic at the same time ,and in the area i live in i cant belive how little people care about their own kids-i am pissed but i must say i get better conversation on here than any arsenal forum -good work,sorry for the rambling
