One more thing Nigel.

I have 7 children. At one time or another they have all said, "I hate you"

hurts? of course. BUT....I knew I was doing the right "Parental" thing when they said that. Wink

Kids do not need a friend. They need a parent. Friendship with your children comes when they are about 23, 24 , 25. And they come to love you unconditionally just like you loved them all those years. You can go out with them and even have a beer, or a cup of coffee and they come to you asking for advice.

LMAO That's when you sit back and laugh at them. Wink

Hurt people.....hurt people. Think about it.

Don't worry too much, it wouldn't take much to get them thinking otherwise... a few hugs, jokes, a bit of time playing with them. I'm forever telling my son how much he loves me, my partner Joe too. Sometimes (when I'm being especially grumpy) I feel that they need a gentle reminder Kate

One of the best descriptions I've heard of growing from a boy into a man was this:

A boy becomes a young man around the age of 15 or 16, when he looks at his old man and says to himself, "I could take this m***** f*****."

And a young man becomes a man around the age of 23 or 24, when he looks at his old man and realizes that his old man is just as full of shit as he himself is.

Honestly, Nigel, they won't FULLY appreciate you until they've had a good, long glimpse of their own mortality.

1st: I am a huge fan of simple honesty. Everyone told me to hide my CH and O2 from my kids (7 & 4) bit I calmly explained it to them, tried to turn it into a science lesson as well as a lesson that sometimes life 'sucks' and you just have to stick it out.

2nd: I've had CH since I was 15 (and cancer, and ...) and it is definitely part of an image of myself that I am broken. And when I feel particularly broken and vulnerable, I do get more angry and 'snappy'. (Like just now...*sigh*....my 4 year old just slammed the door on me!) Anyway, I've found that therapy can help and recommend it to anyone who is open to it.

Just my humble opinion....

Thanks again everyone I've had a chat with my kids and they said " angry dad? what are you talking about ? your not angry dad "well I say thay but that comment was from Rhys my 10 year old son my 5 year old daughter said "oh" and then went back to Daisy land where it's all pink and fluffy.

So I guess it's all right after all I just hope that I don't get worse when my next cycle comes along , and I feel like it's going to be sooner rather than later Sad

God bless

Nigel
