It would be shattering!

Thats what I did...... My entire family are Carlton supporters but when I was a kid I decided to go for essendon then convinced my younger brother to do the same....... Glad I did that though.... Truly hate Carlton
 
There is a world of difference financially between working full time and studying full time. Studying full time limits your working time which limits how much money you can earn, thus spending almost all money you earn on rent/bills/groceries/petrol. Wheras fulltime work means you will still generally be able to afford all this things and save money at the same time.

Im not saying it cant be done, I mean I'm sure I would've managed just fine had i moved elsewhere due to uni, and if I decide to move out in the next year or two that's also a workable option, but it is definately much easier and more conveniant living from home whilst studying

For this reason I support West Perth, he supports East Perth. :cool:

Both Eagles fans though.. I guess I wasn't that rebellious :D
 
I never went to uni but vowed that if I had kids that they would go.

My 2 older kids live in the States with their mum and apart from paying child support for my boy, I send my 19 YO daughter money every month as she is a college student. I have stressed that I don't want her working extra hours for extra money if her study will suffer.

My boy gets very good grades but is not as studious. I want him to go to college but as a distant parent, it is harder to influence their decisions.

My 3 YO boy is precociously clever and we will push him to go to uni. My second wife is Croatian, so I guess that is what the guys are talking about with the race thing. He will not pay board. He will be welcome to stay with us as long as possible and get some savings behind him. I cannot imagine many people from the next generation or 2 that will be able to afford to buy their own homes without a great deal of help from their parents. I imagine that we will take the pressure off him by having a deposit ready by the time he is ready. He will have to work for spending money though and none of this old fashioned Croat sitting around while mum does everything. He will do his share of work at home.

As for fathers worrying about their daughters. Vince Jones sang a great song years ago called "My Baby Comes to Me" and he is singing it from the perspective of a father with a 6 yo girl.

my baby comes to me
she says she has this new ambition
and it breaks all the tradition
she's only six years old
there's no man good enough for her

my baby comes to me
she used to dance so unsophisticated
rocking to and fro
across the room
just like an angel
lost her wings
forgotten how to fly

my baby comes to me
to never know what her potential is
a man will come and make her his
remember how I was
when I was seventeen

Sums it up. I used to sing it to my daughter when she was a baby and now she is engaged !
 
If my boy decides to follow anyone other than Fremantle, no deposit for the house !!!!!!!!!!!!!

It won't happen though. He is already a Fremantle member and loves it. Fremantle pajamas, plates, drink bottles, teddy bears. I have a picture of him with Sandi on my office wall.

He has already been on a footy trip. We went to the Gold Coast to watch Fremantle play (and beat) Carlton, so he is in the system.

I did concede slightly with the WAFL though. I support East Perth because I lived in The Royals zone when I first came out to Australia as a boy. He has no link there and was born in Fremantle, so I have allowed the in laws to dress him in SF gear and follow The Bulldogs.

This is not set in stone though. I will take him to East Perth games when the chance arises and it is up to his mum and Dida to take him to the South games.

Yep - a couple of months ago. :(

She is going to finish her degree before she gets married. This is what happens when the mother moves the kids to small town bible belt America !!! He seems like a nice guy though....and he is a Celtics and Patriots fan so we have stuff to chat about !

This is basically the only thing you have to worry about with a boy.

He did clap an Eagles goal against Carlton this year :confused:

Actually speaking of that, I should probably let him out his room now :cool:

A good father does not allow the son to choose who he follows.

Absolutely.
My boy is an eagle. It is all he knows, he is 3, he will recognise the logo and point it out if he sees it, he loves calling out at the TV with me when we watch the footy, doesn't really know what he is saying but it is good to have him start to learn the behaviour and an appreciation for the game.
There is no choice...he is an eagle.

This is child abuse.
 
Probably boys, but not by much. A big part of girls being harder seems to be the sex & boyfriends thing. Maybe something in my head will click if I have a daughter, but I can't imagine being angry at my daughter or her partner for having sex. If she was being pressured into it or mistreated, heads would roll, but her having sex with a boyfriend? Even if I think he's a douche? She's only doing something she enojys. A big meh & good for her.

I believe that many of the guys saying 'I am afraid my daughter will be a ****/have sex with the wrong guy/etc' have never really gotten over their pubescent/adolescent issues regarding the opposite sex, and this manifests itself in their views on even their own (hypothetical) daughters.

Quite sad, reallly.

Honestly: Would you prefer to have a boy or girl?

I have a daughter 24 and a son 21, they each presented their own issues, but that is inconsequential to the love and pride I have with both of them.

Interested in what sort of issues you think these might be.

Yeah, I kind of agree with this. I dont' really see what the big deal is about your daughter growing up and having sex. If you've raised them well they'll make ok choices and find their own way. Of course they're going to have sex. Would you prefer they didn't and ended up being the crazy virgin cat lady?
