What are you thankful for today??

[Oh_hunnihunni]

Today I am grateful for the tiny set of jewelers screwdrivers I acquired years ago. They let me break into the dead laptop I have in storage to remove the hard disk so I could destroy it before chucking the beast into the inorganic collection. Next challenge, the old cpu in the desktop.

And who knew those things shatter like glass and go everywhere? Next time I shall bag it first...

Learn something new every day...

I think that's one of the best things about the world we live in now; that men are able to & want to, take on more of the parenting role than formerly. I think it benefits the entire family to have a proper dad rather than a distant father figure who's always away at work.

Yes indeed, it's been one of the upsides to covid I think. The young couple in front of me, are having their second baby at the end of January, and the dad was saying that he's so excited. I thought 'how cool is that'. It's so lovely to hear men being so vocal about his excitement.

Our dad's were always away at work lilith. I can remember when Dad would come home from work, and it was exciting to see him. Being the only girl, I was a daddy's girl, and I am so proud to have had a Dad who was a hard worker and provided for his family.

My Dad was a similar workaholic and also impaired by ptsd from war service, so when I handed him my new born daughter he devoted himself to her from that day onward. He told me she gave him the chance to redo his parenting role as a fulltime father figure, and she benefited hugely - as did I - from that focused attention. So much so that she has named her son after him.  He really enjoyed being a grandfather...
