    my eldest is 12 next month and we have started letting her out more, we are naturally worried, but you just have to do it. We couldn't keep her in for fear of something happening.
    I know, you are right

      ...until you find your 7 year old almost climbing out of a second story window, as we did at the weekend (he had climbed on to a stool to peer out, and both feet had left the stool). That shook us up a bit

      Needless to say he had a thorough lecture on why that was "bad, mkay".
      Where are we going? And what’s with this hand basket?

        I guess thats it, kids don't recognise the dangers that adults see.

          Eeek.. that would make you think, but kids have to grow up and they have to learn. I bey he has learnt his lesson now.

          I'm trying to steer the eldest away from boyfriends, and trying to get her into afterschool clubs. Also had a talk about peer pressure at the weekend... I think her head is failry screwed on

            That won't happen.... she is 12, she will be thinking about it... in my house boyfriends and all that goes with the whole idea of them was never a taboo subject. Mam and Dad always encouraged us to bring them home and in hindsight I guess it was so they could keep an eye on us. she will be grand Monkey - I have no doubt that you and Mrs Monkey have done a grand job.

              Yeah, I think he got the general impression that was a bad thing. I hope I give them enough freedom to learn from small mistakes - it's the big ones I worry about!

              Given that No.4 is our only girl, any boyfriend she gets is going to have the run the gauntlet of me and 3 brothers. She's in safe hands

                On a cheery note...

                Have a guess who came very, very close to getting a slap of a bouncer at the weekend

                The bouncer decided against starting something as standing behind me was my 4th Dan instructor.

                All because the muppet wanted me to throw my rubbish on the floor outside, I just said no I'll use the bin upstairs.... slight disagreement. I tried to walk past him and up the stairs. Out came an arm to stop me, at which point he saw my club colours and the instructor chirped up and asked if there was a problem ?

                    I wish I could have seen that. Sometimes bouncers are such numptys...
