In my younger and more vulnerable years my father gave me some advice that I've been turning over in my mind ever since...

... he said, "Never try to reason with a drunk or a fool."

Oh, if only I'd listened...

Last night I spent an hour trying to reason with the biggest fool I know  - My Ex - while, across town, MLM was sat trying to reason with a drunk - His EX - ... to what end? To try an drag some decent parenting out of these people...

Oh, why do we bother... how can we ever hope to change what they have always been.

Next week: progress; this weekend: fun with the babies... all of the lovely little buggers.

FYI... this article...



... from the (sorry) Daily Mail is a handy hint on how NOT to do parenting... sick buckets and pitch forks are on me.

But if you're feeling like a bit of a bad parent for any reason today, read this and cheer yourself up... there's no possible way you could be as vile as this woman... 

Have a good weekend!
