Welcome Duggs (from the token fella of the group).
Regarding 'Superblokes' and Goats's earlier wondering if fellas are getting stressed about mending Dadness and stuff.
I'm stressed about it, I'm also solidly grieving for the losses I am expecting from my life. The not being able to pursue my hobbies and things in future for one example. I don't yet have any thing to replace those losses. i don't have a connection with a baby or any sort of physical reminder/connection and just have cope with knowing that parts of how I have defined who I am as a person will have to change or go. I'm not particularly anxious about that and I ad sure that once Schrodenberg turns up I will either not give a shit about the losses or we will find a way to make somethings work.
I'm pretty sure I'll be a good dad and a good husband (hope I already am) but sometimes I will be insensitive because I have my own worries and or fears. Sometimes I won't be sympathetic either. I do know that I will be jealous as all fuck that I don't get to be at home with Schrodenberg after my Pat leave.
When it's doable (when Schrodenberg is not welded to mrsthedog's breasts) I'd like to have a week off and insist on doing all the at home stuff in that week.
I usually finish off with a comment about how amazing you all are, it's true you are but I just want to throw in an ' I wish you were all feeling better physically and not feeling so uncomfortable'.
Oh and if you read this mrsthedog, you look 'top of the pops' xx
