Today was the first day back in the office rather than at home being toddler dad!! Gotta say I know which I would prefer to be, and that is at home looking after the kids, but that is not for me.
Instead I get to head office to the office and ummmm, manager staff I guess is what I do - which on days can feel like looking after lots of toddlers.
From all reports from the home front it would appear that Little Miss was a touch upset from my absence after 4 weeks of having me as around fulltime. Usurper (the newborne) of course couldn’t give a fat rats ass about whether I am there or not as she is only 4 weeks old. The only one she actually misses would be my wife and even then I think it is more the boobies she would miss than my wife herself.
Of course I don’t get out of parental duties completely, I am sure that from now own the threat of ‘wait til your father gets home’ will be liberally used between now and when I get too old to actually be seen as a threat and am seen more as an object of pity and ridicule. So I am guessing between and next Friday some time at my current rate of decay.

Well I am almost at the end of the train journey - an hour and a half on the train on the way home followed by 15minutes on a motorbike, looking forward to doing that for the next 26 years, 1 month and 1 week until I retire. I wonder if Little Miss will be happy to see me or whether I will be ignored for the evening?
