ioneabee Posted June 12, 2014 Author Posted June 12, 2014 I don't think viewing porn would be a good idea (before SMD and BBK comment) Quote

WhackyWill Posted June 12, 2014 Posted June 12, 2014 Brought my Son up on my own from the age of 6..Taxi to him and all his mates, including the School run every day..!! So yes got the T shirt as well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote
JetSet Posted June 12, 2014 Posted June 12, 2014 Yes, when my daughter was 4, she had ballet lessons in Wrexham from 5 to 6:30. It's 12 miles away so I would walk to McDonalds have a burger and by the time I'd walked back it was time to go home. Then there was the gymnastics, she started aged 6 and continued until she left for UNI aged 18. At the peak of her powers, around 14-15 she would go 7 days a week . She also played football for Tranmere Rovers ladies so that was a 16 mile drive twice a week for training and a game every other Sunday to take her to and if it was an away game she'd need a lift to Birkenhead to get the team coach....and picking up again in the evening. Now she's got a good job I'm thinking of sending her a bill . Pete 3 Quote
Mikeyazure Posted June 12, 2014 Posted June 12, 2014 thanks for the great idea pete! my youngest daughter has just started a job in the city(smoke) at a leading finance house, i think i need to start sending her some invoices for all my time etc.... Quote
spursmaddave Posted June 12, 2014 Posted June 12, 2014 My 2 are well into their 20's now so no Dad Taxi, just the odd Bank of Dad moment now and again 2 Quote
350zedd Posted June 12, 2014 Posted June 12, 2014 Reverse situation for me.... My 4 children all live at home, 2 have cars, 2 don't including the wife. So I'm always asking the question, "Who wants a lift anywhere.....anybody....ANYBODY ?" This is so I get the opportunity to drive the Zed .....which would otherwise be parked up all week Quote
ioneabee Posted June 12, 2014 Author Posted June 12, 2014 There are 3 of them tonight - might be a bit pushed to fit them in the zed Quote
glrnet Posted June 12, 2014 Posted June 12, 2014 Stepdaughters x 2 = all of the above but only for 8 years Wouldn't have it any other way though Quote
WhackyWill Posted June 12, 2014 Posted June 12, 2014 Had a Siera RS 500 Cosworth for the School run around the North Circular. Quote
Voodoo Vix Posted June 12, 2014 Posted June 12, 2014 My dad is making up for all the times he's been my chauffeur (still is), as he's had me dropping him off and picking him up from various parties recently lol Quote
Rock_Steady Posted June 13, 2014 Posted June 13, 2014 (edited) I'm not a dad taxi yet ( my little one is only 5 months ) but I am a wife taxi and a sister taxi. Waiting in nurseries and mothers circles until they have finished their coffees and bitching about god knows what while i'm sitting in waiting rooms reading pamphlets about really uplifting things like "so, you've got an itchy arse hole" or some other informative thing about embarrassing foibles. Or, waiting in the baking hot car thinking "she said she'd be out by 4 and it's now 4.27" and to think it's only going to get worse. Edited June 13, 2014 by Rock_Steady 2 Quote
bronzee Posted June 13, 2014 Posted June 13, 2014 The cool thing is your kids are out there socially interacting with others, whether is be sports, going to the movies or whatever. Way better than having children not learning social interaction. 2 Quote
ioneabee Posted June 13, 2014 Author Posted June 13, 2014 Have you not noticed how they do social interaction these days - its called "social media" 2 Quote
350zedd Posted June 13, 2014 Posted June 13, 2014 They're only children for a short while.... Next thing you know they'll be buying a zed and coming on meets with you!! 2 Quote
