Instead of “the weekend”, my 4 yr old calls Saturday and Sunday “iPad days”, if you’re wondering how my parenting is going.”

💻 Hack of the week
Travel Series; ep. 5
Hands up if you think applying sun cream to your toddler as they wrestle themselves out of whichever beach clothes you foolishly tried to dress them in should be considered one of parenting’s most thankless of tasks.

⭐ How the stars do it
Just because you’re famous doesn’t mean your children should always enjoy the same privileges.
Well, that’s Gordon Ramsey’s view at least.
Link here.
"I got s**t last month about not paying first-class tickets [for his children’s air fares],” he told the FT Weekend Magazine.
"That’s 15 f***ing grand a ticket, so let’s work this out for a minute. For four first-class tickets to LA, 60 f***ing grand. For Tana and I, 90 f***ing grand. F***ing right I won’t pay for them [the children].
What muppet is going to spend £90,000 flying from here to LA?”
Upcoming dates that it might be worth having up your sleeve:
National Ice Cream Day | Sunday 21st July; time to enforce the age old dad-ism that an ice cream truck only plays music to tell everyone that they’ve run out.
That’s it for this week folks.
Thanks again for reading, as always we leave you with one HILARIOUS joke to share with the family.
Did you know that the chuckle brothers didn’t want kids?
One had a vasectomy, and the other had a vasectoyou.
