Afternoon All,
As an expectant Father, naturally we?re coded to go into the 20-week-scan believing the finer half is carrying the next footballing prodigy.
However, being told that you?re little soccer ace is in fact a girl? My assumption was going to be that of despair ? but in reality ? I was elated just to know she is healthy.
However, the new thought process is that of ?life?. I grew up with one older brother ? and we were terrors.
My own assumption is that boys are more difficult because they like climbing, scrapping and being little gits.
But all I can think about now is that I'm going to have to go on all her dates ? and if any ?smelly boys? so much as look at her, I'm going to have to beat them up ? regardless of age/prison sentence.
Is it a protective thing? Am I being more protective because it?s a girl?
Although ill never get to have a kick around with her (although, you never know) from a Fathers point of view ? whats going to be there for me?
Do I play the DaddysGirl angle and look forward to taking her shopping?
Do I take a side gig and start coaching local kids football to get my ?baby boy? fix?
I'm not sure where my head is supposed to be at ? but at the moment, it?s a dark place where I'm beating up kids and lurking 3 rows back in the cinema making sure that rotten ?Darren Briggs? doesn?t try and ?make the move? on my precious naïve daughter!
Or am I simply taking crazy pills?
