Learner Dad: 'I’m afraid of being in a shop with my kids'

WE went shoe shopping for the kids at the weekend. To be honest, I couldn’t see anything wrong with the old shoes. Part of me reckoned it was a rainy Saturday afternoon and my wife just fancied doing a bit of shopping. Obviously this is not something I could say out loud, because I’d end up living in a bedsit with visitation rights every second weekend.

My son got a new coat while we were out. Again, I didn’t see a whole lot wrong with the old one, other than the fact it was getting slightly short on the sleeves.
