My son will be 18

[Gazzer]

My son will be 18 next Monday and he has contacted me to see if I will take him for his 1st legal drink ! Over the years I have missed so much due to the divorce etc but I do feel so...well dunno if it proud or overwhelmed by this but I wont be missing out this time. :8:

 

[Ian]

That's good that he's asked you mate, just don't get him hammered or you'll get grief off his mother!

 

[Diamond Pool Finishers]

So pleased for you Neil !, it's a special bond between father and son /son's, don't get him to plastered LOL......

 

[Gazzer]

Well there is a party after but because its all the other side of the family I doubt I will be going ....nope him turning up bladdered wouldnt go down well :smilewinkgrin:

 

[CJ]

Go for it....make sure he gets the first round in. Few and far between after :8:

My lad was 20 a couple of weeks ago.......he already drinks me under the table.

Well.........almost. :smilewinkgrin:

I have had about the same scenario Neale, I was choked up as well when he said the same thing to me, we did, we went, had 2 pints together, it was ........... strange, strange but good

 

[Dougs Third Go]

great that he's asked you Neale:hurray:, another 11+ years before my eldest is 18.

 

[trevortine]

I've a long time to wait, with one at three and a half and one at three months!

My lad was in Army training on his 18th......Afghan on his 19th.

His 20th was at home on leave.

Nice one Neale, pleased for you, my eldest lad (30yrs) is in Melbourn and just put on facebook he has been bitten by a white tailed spider. I guess you will know what they are from your days in Oz? you never stop being a dad.

 

[Daveshadowman]

That good I understand the missing out etc

 

[Andy Allen]

Take some I.D Neal, in case you get asked your age.....:smilewinkgrin:

Ahh thats the one that leaves dead skin. Very common in Vic.

Enjoy it Sir!
My son is 30 next month and the only time we've had a drink together was in the South of France working. I was at the bar having a coffee and he was sitting in the front row watching the pole dancer!
he's not a drinker and an evening of Baileys and milk left him uneasy the next day.

I have a long way to go before i take any of my boys out drinking. The eldest is 6, then 4 and then the youngest is 14mths.
A proud moment in any fathers life though Im sure. Pleased for you Neal. Id send him home rather wobbly on his feet though. It has to be done! :8: :8: :8: :8: :8: :8: :8: :8: :8:

Just had a beer and he is now with the "other side" , it was a nice moment but I always feel so deflated after times like this
