Fatherhood has changed me. No doubt about it. I think differently, act more sensibly. I’ve become more empathetic, compassionate – I feeeel more. I also have less hair, more wrinkles and a twitch developing over my right eye, but all in all, I’m a better person because of those little bundles of chubbiness. But I never believed I’d have to use so much bribery, ahem, bargaining power, to parent my boys. I used to scoff into my single man’s red wine, watching parents shoving iPhones into their kids’ faces in restaurants. ‘You’ll never see me do that,’ scoff, scoff, scoff. What a fool, what a naïve fool I was. I really miss that guy. How did I fall into this trap? Sleep deprivation, probably. Wanting an easy life, definitely. But it’s not an easy life is it? Not in the end. Eventually, I’ll have nothing to give, and then what? When they’ve eaten all the cakes, watched all the films and drank all the variations of concentrated organic juice this world has to offer, what’s next? I think I’ve figured it out. I’ve been trying to protect them from feelings of disappointment. When they react to a decision which infringes upon their happiness, like leaving a fun event or not eating all the grapes in one sitting, I’ve plastered over their natural response to disappointment with a reward system that only delays their frustration before it moves onto the next issue. Time for a bit of tough love. How do you deal with saying no? #instadads #instamums #parentingstough #sleepsforwimps #bribingthekids #toughlove #creativekids #creativeparents https://www.instagram.com/p/CAj8MUalDlA/?igshid=7sr0ac4h1e47

"Dad, why don't we write messages on some of the fallen leaves and let them go up the river?" "I don't think I have a pen." He pulls one from his explorers pack. "I do." #kidsareace #instadads #creativekids #instamums #naturetrails #thegreatoutdoors #stockportdads #writingparents (at Stockport) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAXnmrMFhCK/?igshid=6lhdf3xbcdr9

"DAD, CAN YOU PLAY WITH ME?" I glance at myself in the mirror. Pen on my face. Questionable stains all over my tshirt. Tired red eyes. One sock. "What do you think we've been doing for the last... erm, is it day time?" "DAD, I WANNA WATCH SECRET LIFE OF PETS 2." Why is he shouting at me? He's about half a metre away and stood on The Wife's exhausted body. Giving him a few extra inches in height and sound range. "Son, use your indoor voice, please." "I WANT SOMETHING TO EAT. GET ME SOMETHING." "Hmm, mmm, arrr, oooh." "What's that, Babe?" The Wife pulls a battered looking Chase from Paw Patrol off her face. "I said, why's he always shouting?" "MUMMY! I COULDN'T FIND YOU." "I think there's something wrong with him," I say. "I WANNA WATCH SECRET LIFE OF PETS." "I heard you, son. Please stop shouting, you're gonna wake your brother up." In the next room I hear a thud. The Wife and I stare at the door. It opens. "NOW THERE'S TWO OF THEM!" I place Chase back on The Wife's face and take the boys downstairs. The clock on the wall ticks, telling me it's only 9am. "Today boys, you can watch all the films and eat all the snacks!" "YAY," They shout. They always shout. What's the most frustrating habit your kids have?

5am: I know he's there. I try to stay as fake asleep as possible. You never know, he might go back to sleep? 5:05am: He's breathing literally right down my ear. I can taste his breath inside my skull. 5:09am: He knows. "Dad." This pointless game is over. "Good morning, Son." "Can we go downstairs and watch that film." "I used to class 6 in the morning as night once you know?" "The one when the mum and dad die when the tiger kills them and the baby cries in the treehouse." "It's a Leopard not a tiger." "And then he lives with the monkeys." "Gorillas." "What's it called again?" "Tarzan." "Can we watch it?" "No!" 5:20am: He leans over my face and shares with me a continuous stream of facts, thoughts, bargaining strategies, beliefs and reasons why he should be allowed to watch Tarzan. 5:29am: His little brother enters the bedroom. 5:30am: Watching Tarzan. Some days I can find the mental ability to negotiate my way out of this scenario. Sometimes he might read, sometimes he goes back to sleep. Sometimes The Wife deals with it. What's your strategy? What time are your little ones getting up? #sleepsforwimps #sleepisfortheweak #instadads #instamums #tarzanmovie #athomewithdad #parentingstough #lockdown #creativenonfiction #dadofboys #dadlife https://www.instagram.com/p/CAUb5eqF8Oo/?igshid=1witf7yh3jxs3
