severely unhappy
Hi all, I’m 35 years old (and drunk at the moment) I’ve just come back from playing darts and both my kids were awake. Being drunk I decided it would be a good idea to tell them what a failure their dad is (not good when your drunk and it makes your 9 year old cry). But I’ve decided that its not my fault that I’m a failure, its a combination of my parents and my teachers. back in the 80’s and 90’s my parents never took an interest in my school work or made sure I done my homework, and I was put in the bottom groupe after the results of my C.A.T’s and never had a hope in hell of ever moving up (although I was top in my class). I would love to wright a book, I’ve got a head full of ideas but can’t get it on paper. so here is my promise, It’s too late for me, but not my kids. I love my parents to bits but will not allow my chileren to go through what I did.
Dear friend can you really blame your parents for not forcing you to do your homework ?, you appear to have had a good childhood, there is more to life than homework. My ambition as a child was to grow up and have children and do with them what I would have liked done with me.As a number amongst 200 kids in a hard cheap council orphanage I was missing out on such a lot in life including inteligence. I thankfully achieved my ambitions and the fun myself and four children had was beautiful and like a dream come true. Words cannot express the joy,honour,thanks that I felt for MY family. I also went on through determination to give MY family the best, to work up from the factory floor to be top Salesman and Salesmanager within various companies. Also top DJ and MC and sportsman in the Midlands. Two of my children do not like me for some reasons of what they purvey as difficult times they are now having. Perhaps some as petty as your homework situation ?, I say this in friendship to you. There are far worse things in life to be uptight about. I wish I could tell my children what my childhood and dreams and happiness I received through them. Seeing the way they treat me now it makes me glad I did not have parents if that is the way I would perceive them. Good luck to you. In passing this on to you I have also got something off my chest.A belated happy New Year to you and yours.
