Here we go, I confess:)
I have one son, I tried it once and didn't like it. I made up my mind that when babies came in a fur coat with 4 legs and a tail I might try it again.
Babies scare me to death and until he was about 8 yrs old we really didn't have much in common, but after that he became more like a mate. He bought his first motorbike at 12 yrs old ( Matchless G5) and I used to help him tinker with it. We started going to heavy rock concerts with me as the 'responsible adult and the wheels' and a car full of his 11 yr old mates.
I discovered that being a parent wasn't so bad after all, and we've had a great relationship ever since. I have 3 grown up grandchildren now but even they didn't click until they were big enough to be real:)
My dad dies when I was 11 yrs old and just hung on to see me pass my 11 plus which he was immensly proud of so I envy that Father/Son relationship you all have.
