We watched the 2nd season of Deadloch and the Aussie accents required some subtitles at times.

No way does an Aussie accent need subtitles
You just need to add a o to the end of each word
Dave o
Arv o
Servo
Bottleo
Of and then there’s sick cunt which basically means mate

Dad fuck up of the morning...yesterday Laura let me know that our youngest started wearing deodorant to school. Me being clueless, made a comment this morning asking if she was wearing deodorant and then said good when she replied yes...30 minutes of tears ensued as she's conscious of smelling in class. Spent those 30 minutes trying to ensure her that she didn't smell and that it was all a joke about how she's just growing up and dad's are generally clueless.

Just an fyi for the next dad in line...

Hahahahahahaha - I may have dome something similar last your. But with your child......

I do this almost daily.

I walked downstairs to two never before seen 12 year old boys with my daughter. They walked downstairs to her room. I looked at Katie and my 14 year old on the couch and asked who r these dudes? Imogene said deadpan without looking up… Caroline’s a slut now.

Honestly, I can’t be bothered. Back to the crossword.

I’m pretty old school. I have two stepdaughters, 17 and 18, and my bio girls who live in Florida with their mom are 13 and 18, so fortunately they don’t have to listen to my rules.

No boys allowed in bedrooms or upstairs, and no boys in the house when we’re not home. One of our couple friends has kids around the same age and asked, “Why do you do that? You know they’re gonna mess around anyway.”

I said, “Yeah, but I can at least make them work for it like I had to…”

Pretty lucky to have good kids. My only rules are get good grades and don’t get pregnant. Short of that they can join a gang for all I care.
