Guest Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 I hate it when my dad just goes on at me because I ask to let the hens out to FR. Mum likes her garden weeded. Apparently it is mean to the dogs. I explain it is for 30 mins because it is almost dark and they will go back to bed but no they have too much room as it is apparently. Urgh They need to be out I only do it twice a month as it is and it is tonight they should be let out. I had o cut down because he was going mental at them being out once a week.

jellykelly Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 T'is what dad's do! You wait until you're a dad. You'll take great pleasure in saying NO to each and everyone of your kids requests! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 I am not having kids. I know guys say it but there a reasons about me why I can't Would love love love kids but couldn't say no I mean cumon if your kids brings up birds and does it so well you should let them have freedom for a while.

patsylabrador Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Could you negotiate a fenced off part of the garden for the free-ranging. Don't get angry when he initially says no, bide your time and eventually you will find your dad will see things your way. Many women will recognise this technique.

Christian Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 It sounds like they have lots of freedom. Many stay all day in the run. It is understandable that your Dad has limits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 I just asked him and he said no but He said he will help me build raised levels in the run so we can put turf on top of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 I expect he just had a bad day. We tend to take it out on those we love. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
migsy Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Well that sounds like a compromise. When my kids ask me if they can do something in my house which I don't want them to do I say "no". Then they whine and I say "when you are old enough to have your own house and pay for it then you can do it then." Sorry Rhys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jellykelly Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Lol - I use the 'when you're old enough line' too. When mine are actually old enough and have they're own house I'm going to take great pleasure in going around there and putting finger prints all over their shiny telly, milk rings all over their glass table and spit toothpaste everywhere but in the sink. I will also get hubby to pee all around the toilet, but miss the bowl and then laugh att hem when they step in pee with just socks on - mwwaaaahhhhh, I will get my revenge on the lil blighters!

Guest Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 I am 16. Left at home most of the time. Dad has bad days (got hit by a car major operations etc but getting better) Mum said let them out when the dogs are taken for a walk. But now I can't do anything to them. One has coccidiosis. I did joke and say that when they go out shopping they will find a coupe of new ducks in the duck run Black east indians But dad said if I do that they all go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
