WHERE DID I GO WRONG??

Postby Rik E Boy » Tue Dec 21, 2010 7:28 pm

ACK! My youngest boy is a PORT SUPPORTER! Image

DISTRESSED!! :-q

How can this happen? Port won the premiership in 2004 so I did the sensible thing and promptly left the state. I have watched the 2007 Grand Final about a zillion times but my son wants to go to a Port match this year...even worse I'll have to take him DOH. I was hoping that like most kids, he'd change teams 56 times but he still likes the Power even though it's now the offseason. I HAVE FAILED AS A PARENT.

Now I know how Cornsey feels!

regards,

REB

When i asked the question on SA Footy Forum, Am i a bad parent because my boys like Justin Bieber, but not cricket, your reply REB was simply Yes!
Although you have not asked the question, i would though like to agree with own self assessment - YOU HAVE FAILED. ;)

The longer we live, the more our prejidices come back to haunt us REB my friend.

Grasp the moment.

Buy a membership for you and one for little REB.

Get Mrs_REB involved by baking teal cup cakes to take to the game. ;)

Maybe a family membership.

Looks like your booked out for the next 15 years my friend. ;) :D
Smile :)

It's only Money $$$ :)

Isn't a form of child abuse if you let your child support any form of port?

How could you let this happen REB. You've really dropped the ball here mate.

Let this thread be a wake up call to others. It could happen on your watch too.

You need three things REB:
1x hessian sack, 1x heavy weight, 1x bridge.
That'll fix it! ;) :lol:

But in all seriousness, how anyone could go for Port after you made them constantly watch the 07 grand final is beyond me.
At least try and convince him to go for Gold Coast! The lesser of two evils!

Hey I supported Port (from mum) until my dad took me to every Norwood game from age 5 up. So you still have hope. I now hate Port through no fault of my own... :D

REB you've touched on one of my greatest fears ... Living in Port Adelaide territory I don't think anything frightens me more than junior P's becoming Port fans.
