Re: I need cheering up
A few days ago I was on the speakerphone to my missus, who was up at our son's place. She'd made some changes, including buying him a new duvet cover. Pretty. Very floral.
He came home from work and walked into his bedroom. He was narked.
"I'm meant bring a bird home and get her into that?" Etc etc.
My wife and I were laughing our heads off. He was swearing his head off.

A guy is sitting at home when he hears a knock at the door. He opens the door and sees a snail on the porch. He picks up the snail and throws it as far as he can. Three years later there’s a knock on the door. He opens it and sees the same snail. The snail says: ‘What the hell was that all about?’
A guy shows up late for work. The boss yells, ‘You should’ve been here at 8.30!’ He replies. ‘Why? What happened at 8.30?’

Re: I need cheering up
It does apply to my missus but probably because of her previous role as a senior NCO in the army. She's used to telling people what to do. It's going to get worse when the boy settles down and has kids. Souvette is itching to be a grandma.
I'm the opposite. I give him advice and guidance when he asks for it. I also try to dilute the maternal helicoptering. It usually goes down like a sack of manure.

Re: I need cheering up
I consider it to be one of my greatest accomplishments as a father that neither of our sons has the slightest desire or intention ever to have kids.
