The realisation hit me about 4 days after nipper was born.....i sobered up!!!!!
Seriously tho, I was filling a form in and it asked me for the number of dependants I had. I'd always thought that dependant was another word for child, which I know in a way it is, but just think what the word dependant really means. If I don't function that little person is in the brown stuff. Probably literally too.
It really got me thinking and from that moment on I've been a sensible sausage.....
