My son has football on Wednesdays at 6. The football lasts an hour so me and my partner go to the pub and share a bottle of wine and chin wag while he plays x

Why do posters have to be straight on at a poster…. making sarcy comments or excessive ??? Its ruining the site.

Because it wasn’t even a question, just a random stream of consciousness!

He doesn’t want us to watch

Is your partner his dad?

If not, could it be that he doesn't want him to watch, but would like his mum to be there.

As long as you aren't driving home afterwards and are happy to pay ridiculous pub prices for wine then who cares?

FlameGrilledSquirrel · 19/11/2025 12:38

Bad parenting. You should be standing on the touchline screaming abuse at the kids...
