The toaster had emotional significance.

(Not really, it was just a very particular colour)

I still have a pretty good relationship with my parents but it’s usually fairly strained with my mum, and sending a “You’re amazing, Mum” card would seem insincere as she’s often pretty awful to me (and to my sister, but she’s a lot older and more mature than me so just takes a deep breath and deals with it). I used to think it was just a teenage getting-angry-at-your-parents thing and I’d grow out of it but nope, she can be pretty horrible when she wants to be.

#25

#26

You absolutely must do this.

Think it’s rule #2 in the being a Dad rulebook after ‘keep child alive’.

#27

should play it straight and fully commit to the concept ‘i’m sorry, I don’t know what to say, I guess the baby must have just forgot’

Hopefully your wife won’t misconstrue this as you asking for a 3’s up with her mate.

thats what she’ll say if you try to pull some joint present bullshit. and then she’ll tell her pal about that time she caught you watching porn

#34

who’s to say the three of us don’t regularly watch porn together

#35

from your thread about the wife bollocking you for watching porn, id say your wife

#36

Yeah but they might all watch it together. It might be the thing that they do.

It was the fact that smee had his own private session which is the bone of contention I reckon.
