I meant I'd have to replace the bloody violin every week.

Plan B - invent a disposable but playable Violin...

What? £10 a week to give the joy of music to an entire family is too expensive? And you call yourself a contractor

Too expensive. My two year old is a one man demolition derby. I've worked out I need to work for another 5 years now to be able to pay for the damage.

You're an amateur. The classy option is a violin with paid for weekly tutor. They can start from age 2 and by the time they are 8 with daily practice they may just about to be able to play it without it sounding like a screaming cat.

What's worse is that because I'm paying for the lessons my sister in law can't work out how to stop the torture.

Recorder.

There is no sound more malevolent & disturbing than the shrill squeal of a two year old trying to see if they can break a recorder.

Agreed. Baby BP loves making music and Mrs BP hates noise. Makes for a fun combination.

Woken up at 4am by baby BP screaming. In delight at acting out a scene from the clone wars.

I am thinking of sending him to Diver for a while :-




At least they share the same dress sense :-

Wifey and Junior are on holiday with Wifey's sister and Mother.

I'm still awake at 4am! FFS!

I woke up before 04:00 so I've done 1/2 day already (wfh) I can now relax a little and watch the rain

At least they share the same dress sense :-

Greased up and wearing nothing but a tutu

Try being round our house for a while. I was up at 5am this morning. Baby BP already downstairs wearing a pirate hat, tutu and waving a light sabre around.

Good the see the police are sensitive to disabled children Police officers assaulted autistic boy - Telegraph

If its like Mrs BP there will be lots of gin bottles. She doses the kids liberally then takes the rest herself.

We found they preferred Vodka. Then I started to introduce them to Absolut's flavoured versions (no ulterior motive honest gov).

No loud stuff in this house. Little fella has taken to jumping out of his skin at any loud noise. This morning there were even tears at the sound of the bottle bin being sorted for the bin men.

Always go for the nosiest option when its not your children. ELC do a good keyboard microphone combination.

A "friend" bought my eldest a Scooby Doo haunted castle type thing, three am I was talking without any lights on and kicked it activating a variety of ghost noises and a barrage of swearing on their voicemail

From Jr or Churchill?
