[quote="Kevin Rynne"]Anyone else out there with children? how do you cope with it all?
I didn't!!
The lack of sleep (Keira was not a well lass when first born) did my nut
. I was a (n even more) miserable, sullen, curmudgeonly git - for months I'm now ashamed to say. I remember folk asking me what it was like to be a Dad - my answer went something like $$%%ck** big $$£"
cking ^^&& ar5e

I was in a mess and struggling to deal with the typically male selfish streak in me that refused to acknowledge the wondrous change going on around me. I remember going to see the GP when Keira was about 6 months old. Mrs Snoop refused to go and opted for a half hour undisturbed kip instead. We arrived @ the surgery and the GP said - daughters fine, your f***ed. Up until this point we had Keira in our bedroom - I was sent home with a flea in me ear and told to stick Keira in her own room and grow up (me or her I was never sure). Anyhoo - I'm waffling now, so suffice to say regular sleep returned and with it the ability to think clearly and get stuck into fatherhood, the most fantastic thing it's ever been my pleasure to experience. The return on investment is just off the scale
there ain't no credit crunch here
