My son's grandad from his mum said to me

In regards to his daughter and my son being born (coparenting job)

"Don't compromise yourself"
"If she says she's going to go left it means she's going right"


In regards to narcissists (specifically coparenting with one)

Always respond NEVER react
Grey rock/hybrid no contact

Biggest peice of advice above all is to follow my gut instinct, it's been correct majority of times.

Better to keep your mouth shut and let people suspect you are an idiot, than to open it and remove all doubt.

When playing tennis "you're only as good as your second serve"

When playing a musical instrument "its not what you play, its what you don't play"

When cooking pasta "let the water wait for you, don't wait for the water"

When walking up a steep incline "lean forward, take smaller steps"
I thought that cooking pasta went as follows:

1st, Get the amount that you think you'll need.

2nd, Wrong.

hat I said to my son when he got to this point recently was: "always use a condom as that way you are in control of contraception, if you don't, the girl is". One of his mates is currently bricking it hoping that he'll get away with not using a condom as the girl didn't believe she could get pregnant that quickly.
For a few days around the middle of a young woman's monthly cycle, there's about a one-in-three chance she'll get pregnant from just a single encounter, and a one-in-two chance she'll get pregnant from multiple encounters. That's assuming everything 'works' normally.
At other times of the month the chance of conceiving is fairly low (and her sex drive probably will be low too; mother nature designs humans to be most interested at their most fertile times and some studies have suggested that tend to look or make themselves look more attractive around their fertile days).

I know this because I worked in medical sciences and also because my wife and I left it until our mid-30s to have a family then decided we needed to hurry before it was too late. So my wife used an ovulation kit to tell her when she was 'ripe'; due to us working awkward hours at the time we only 'danced in the dark' once and she got pregnant.

As Terry Wogan used to say "...they're not telling you the REAL news, all the rest is propaganda..."iirc.

Buy cheap, buy twice.

Sadly I've not been able to use the advice on 'nosing the stilton' learned on this very website.
