fao Barmaid "Am I Being Unreasonable?"

[Sqad]

LOl LOL LOl LOL I read your thread out to mrs sqad this morning and she told me to relate this to barmaid.

" I sympathise and empathise with you, been there, done it, got the tee-shirt.......it is quite the norm, happens all the time, every day, throughout the world and you better get used to it because it doesn't get any better. it is called "baggage" and usually women come with more "baggage" than men. You have to work if he is worth it or not.
If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.
I had 4 boys with sqad as "my baggage" 2 were quite intelligent and the other 2 were, and still are, morons.
Good luck Barmaid.

Mrs sqad.

But he was worth it (I put that bit in)LOL

[ummmm]

What are you on about. They are not baggage when you are both the parents....

[Ankou]

i suppose you had to be there ?

[Bbbananas]

PMSL at sqad. "still morons", "he was worth it..." !!!!

I read it this morning too - and I too sympathise & empathise - been there, done that, got the t-shirt AND the baseball cap.

I was lucky with my 2 stepsons, they are great lads and now great fathers themselves & even though I'm no longer with their father, I am still their stepmum & they always will be my family. But the early years in particular were not easy - actually the problems were more with their mother than themselves..but...

If the man is worth it BM, it will all be worth it in the end. Kids mature, grow & (usually) become civilised humans. And if they don't, then at least they leave home....

[ummmm]

I want to know why Sqads wife thought she had baggage for giving birth to his kids...

[Bbbananas]

I assumed it was because they were her stepsons?
I'd never call my own son baggage. It's just 'terminology' really I suppose.

[brenda]

To call 2 of your 4 children morons is to me totally disgusting , you should both be ashamed of yourselves.

[Sqad]

ummmm...really?..They were Mrs sqad's stepsons.

[Sqad]

brenda....the truth is quite often unpalatable.

[ummmm]

To say it to their face would be disgusting. Saying it on an internet forum where no one will ever know who they are...then it's just words.

Salla...are they not Mrs Sqads kids?

[ummmm]

I never knew that Sqad...I have even more respect for Mrs Sqad now.

[Bbbananas]

Brenda - it's just sqad's 'way' of describing them - not always endearing to some, but funny to those who 'get it'. I'd like to say he doesn't really think of them as morons - but, from what I can gather from previous references, he really does....

I must admit, when I read this, I did laugh out loud. Morons maybe, but he 'loves' them really... if he ever admits to love, which he doesn;t..

[Bbbananas]

... I loves you sqadlet. And I think your missus sounds great x

[Sqad]

Mrs sqad 1.....died many years ago.

Brenda et al..........I have never been one to dignify children as "lovable", "wonderful" "Always happy and cheerful" etc..........when it is clear to all concerned, except the parents that is, that they are just "miserable, ill behaved, "gits"

[Bbbananas]

You got snooker today sqad?

By God - I hope you win....!!

[Sqad]

salla...yepp....snooker.

Who is this "Brenda woman?"

[Bbbananas]

Not sure. But I do remember her being also outraged at some (tongue in cheek, as per...) things I've said in the past.

[Ice.Maiden]

Dear god! I really can't believe that "Mrs Sqad" would call 2 of the children morons - whether her own, now adult - or whatever. Even if it was a tasteless joke, you come over like a pair of chavs.

[Sqad]

salla....right.

I killed myself laughing at barmaids thread........did you read it?

[Sqad]

Ice Maiden.....I couldn't care less how we "come over", it was no joke , it was and is the truth.

Have you got kids?

[Bbbananas]

Some if it.... I felt instant empathy & knew exactly what she meant ! The food issue particularly - nightmare.

Thankfully my 2 'baggages' are now 26 & 28 and are brilliant. But boyoboy, there have been times.....

Do you know that you & your good wife have just been called chavs?!! Bet you're gutted?!!
