Mine all got a tap on the nappy after 3 warnings as toddlers, and hand on heart, now aged 17,15 and 12, they never give me a moments trouble.They do well at school, I can have a real giggle with them, they don't give me any of the usual 'kevin an' perry' type attitude! The daughter thing has just been promoted at cadets, the eldest is playing County rugby at colts level and the youngest.....well let's just say
I suspect he'll be a very good 'shopping companion' for his dear ol' mum
Maybe I'm just lucky, but I look at their friends and wonder if their parents ever gave them a clip...because by Christ some of them need it!
