Introduced the family to A Christmas Story tonight…
For the kids it strictly came down to our girls thinking it was dumb - less than one star each, our boy giving it a 5 million out of 5.
Top 5 Family Christmas Movies for your family?

The things you’ll do for your kids. I said this with a straight face when I ordered my coffee.

One day, a colleague looked me straight in the eyes and said, with all the weight of a father’s responsibility: ‘You’ll see, your life will change forever.’
That sentence still resonates within me. And yes, he was obviously right.
Our priorities shift. Our emotions are turned upside down.
As Arrotu says, our role is to guide our children as they grow, to help them face this complex world.
I’m not a perfect father but every day I try to do my best.
yes, sometimes it’s hard : the fatigue, the stress, correcting their mistakes, helping them understand what’s right and what’s wrong, sometimes raising my voice so they understand when they’ve gone too far or when their behavior isn’t appropriate.
Of course, all of this comes from love, so they can grow up with confidence and serenity.
A little shout-out to all the parents out there 🙌

I am not the perfect dad , I recognise it , sometimes I am tired , frustrated or upset , sometimes I can shout and tell off more than I should !
But behind each hard word and difficult moment , there is a huge amount of love, true love that is not like anything else !
Maybe I m wrong in the way of doing it but never in my intention !
All I do is because of the true love for my children, no one else will love them like I do !
With all my heart , I wake up early, I work hard, I am tired at the end of the day but I carry on , for them , to give them a roof, food and most important a future
I am not always patient but all I do is for them, when I told them off is not without reason , it’s not because I do t love them but because I refuse to see them fail.
If I am strict , it’s not to punish them but to prepare them for a world that will not be fair on them
I am not perfect but I am their dad and it means everything
It means I will give everything , I will make all the sacrifice, I will fight till the end … for them … always
Shout out to all the parents out here !!

almost overslept for the first time in 5 years as the whole house slept until 8:15 by done miracle
the idea that i would sleep **too much** has been a joke, a hilariously implausible fantasy for half a decade

Conversation prompted by my 7-year-old on the way home from school today was on the subject of "what if you had 3 wishes"
I had to think about what mine would be, so I asked him what his 3 wishes would be, and without skipping a beat, he replied,"
1)to bring your mom back. 2)a bunch of money for you. 3)Maybe a new car for my dad."
He's such a sweet little dude. 🥹
But his wishes made me painfully aware of just how much my grief has affected my kids.

One of my regrets between older and younger.
Older didn’t go to a school till 3.
Younger went to a school at 2.
Which do you think was a worse decision ?
