Spoilt brat :D

 

I hope they got you the crayons the year after :good:

When I was about that age I asked for some pickles and a ride on a bus.

 

Got what seemed at the time to be the biggest jar in the world and ate them while riding round on my day saver with my dad.

 

Simple times.

Sectarian Bigot

I've got my Iranian fuckbuddy a sexy mother christmas outfit and the Jewish one a vibrating pigs cock.

If anyone's kids ungratefully receive presents this Christmas, then they should retell this story that my dad often tells from when he was a young boy.

 

The youngest of three brothers all looked after alone by my Grandad (Grandma had fucked off when he was only a baby). He'd always wanted a torch for Christmas. Then, one year, Grandad said with a glint in his eye , "You'll have to see what Santa brings you..." and then ruffled his hair.

 

Anyway, as was perfectly acceptable in those days, Grandad fucked off to the pub leaving the kids in bed on Christmas Eve. Upon returning home, pissed up, he then stumbled onto the presents he was putting under the tree.

 

Dad woke up all excited and furiously unwrapped his present. One can only imagine his disappointment as he pulled a smashed torch out of the wrapping paper.

 

According to Grandad, Rudolph must've trodden on it.

This is going to be awkward when you say she's 13.

ah. :nea:

Your 3 year old has an iPad?

 

 

Sweet baby Jesus and the orphans.

hmm. not my choice believe me.

 

 

he is good with it though, and it is very educational tbf.

 

he can actually use that and an iphone, better than my missus.

Really strange reading that children have iPads and phones. That is just plain wrong.

dont get me wrong, he as plenty of "normal toys" too, and is only allowed on the ipad for short periods.

 

my misses is an ex nursery nurse, so educational play is extremely important to her.

 

safe to say, the ipad isnt one of her favourite items.

I do agree.

 

If was upto me, I would kick him out the door, he should be darn t'pits now !

Aslong as the lad doesn't get obsessed with it, i see nothing wrong with that at all?

my lads 10 months old and hasnt the foggiest idea its christmas.i suggested to the wife that we just all his old toys,wrap them and give him them? saves us a fortune and hes over the moon at ripping wrapping paper up,everyones a winner!

I just know when he starts to use it, my 3 year old will want one !!!

 

Maybe that might be the time he needs to start learning that we don't always get what we want.

 

By the sounds of it that doesn't seem to happen as much as when I was a kid.

I think we also asked for less when we were children. Then again, there was less.

Also, we put the tree up when my parents told me we could, & not because I'd ground them down by whining about it.

Christmas, another beautiful concept, sadly ruined. :(

Edited by no balls

All this business about 'when we were kids and had fuck all' had nowt to do with the good ol days.

 

It's because the batteries needed to work the things cost more than the fucking toy itself, weighed about four stones each, were the size of a party seven, and lasted about as long as I can after supping said tub of party seven.

 

Nowadays, as no balls knows with her own toys, you can buy a dozen triple aaa's for fourpence, get another pack free, and power the whole of hartlepool for a fortnight on them.
