Children. Best thing in life

[wendigo100]

Remember they're your blood, you can replace wifes and girlfriends but not family.

Indeed. That's what I meant by only significant thing - it is the continuation of your DNA.

Even Einstein wanted to leave kids.

[PRC1964]

Being a father
Is quite a bother.

You are free as air
With time to spare,

You're a fiscal rocket
With change in your pocket,

And then one morn
A child is born.

Your life has been runcible,
Irresponsible.

Like an arrow or a javelin
You've been constantly travelin'.

But mostly, I daresay,
Without a chaise percèe,

To which by comparison
Nothing's embarison.

But all children matures,
Maybe even yours.

You improve them mentally
And straighten them dentally,

They grow tall as a lancer
And ask questions you can't answer,

And supply you with data
About how everybody else wears lipstick sooner and stays up later,

And if they are popular
The phone they monopular.

They scorn the dominion
Of their parents opinion,

They're no longer corralable
Once they find you're fallible.

But after you've raised them and educated and gowned them,
They just take their little fingers and wrap you around them.

Being a father
Is quite a bother,
But I like it, rather.

What accent rhymes father with bother?

Best "rhyming" couplet ever...

He thinks that I'm a cabbage
Cos I hate university challenge

Christ sake!
you really are a beginner............It's a piece of piss to be a Father, but it takes hard work to be a Dad.
People like you shouldn't be alowed to have Children, She might as well be a certificate to say that you actually got to shag someone once....
I would put money on the fact that you probably won't be around for her on her 18th Birthday.
Grow up!....... Then you might actually realise what you have

Oh god.

See what I mean! Another of those no-sense of humour dads who think its the be all and end all of their miserable existences.

I worked with a guy that talked of nothing but his boring children in a social scene. All the "funny" things they say, the "brilliant thing" they did the other day, how fecking clever they are, etc.

Exactly. My sister bought a picture my 5 year old nephew had drawn over a little while ago. It was sh-t. It looked like a 2 year old had done it but she was like 'how clever he was'. So I told her to get extra tutelage for him as he was obviously retarded.

Kids have to learn failure.

Kids have to learn failure.

A-hem, I'm sure you meant to say "delayed success".

Wouldn't want the PC police to pay you a visit.

[MarillionFan]

One of them is a fat bulltulipting philanderer. The other a contractor who works in Denmark.

[Davros]

Your kids haven't exactly turned out well Davros... they keep on getting beaten to a pulp by that chappie in the Time Machine...

No. Not Threaded. The other one.

I worked my fingers to the bone and the only gratitude I got was a good exterminating in an underground bunker.
