Yesterday while I was at work my son and daughter went out with my wife. We got to see the RAF fly past but from different location which my kids thought was awesome.
However on getting home, things were different. My daughter had gone to a party and my son was in the bad books of my wife. The kids had been told to prepare a speech for school. My daughter did hers last week, and ever since she did well a few years ago, and learned that put her through to the next round, she appears to have done her best not to win. My son on the other hand has never shown his abilities in this field. He is amazing but seems to have an aversion to letting his teacher (and those in the past) know how great he is.
Anyway on getting home after my wife growled at me muttering that he had annoyed her I thought I would see how he was and help him. Unfortunately for him, he decided to take out the anger and frustration he had towards his mother out on me. So from having one parent on his side he went to two being annoyed with him. After later finding out that he had been hiding things from us, he was in our bad books as we went to a friends to watch the football.
On that note a great game where England showed lots of promise and potential soured by the result but made much worse by the violence shown to our fans at the end of the game.
Anyway he has completed it today, just. I am not sure if my telling him I was to post on this changed his view on completing it or not. And he has been awesome on his bike, improving and becoming stronger than ever. Like his sister does, he makes me proud and it is an honour to be his father.
