No doubt it was epic. My son looks absolutely dashing in a suit, at 6. Probably every other age as well ;-)
I was about to say I sing it these days to get my boy to sleep, but truly I sing it these nights.
Personally, I got to have a wonderful mother that I still talk with all the time; we have a few differences, but she’s a great person and I recognize how lucky I was and am to have her. My father was unfortunately very nasty and toxic, and he hasn’t been in the picture for a very long time now. As a man, I completely lack the example to be a good father in the first place, but frankly I’m not even interested in having kids and happily leave it to those who are more prepared and wanting to. I wish all the parents out there the best, as the challenges are plentiful and constant, but as my mother kindly assured me, it can all be worth it.
Sad to hear you've had such a dad, especially if that's been of influence on thinking if you're a good parent yourself. My father is a very friendly and thoughtful man, whom never ever helped me with anything, as he was too thoughtful, and never understood life himself. But as a father myself, I decided I'd be a guide for my son. I explain the things he doesn't do right, and why. I'll honestly answer any questions he has. If I don't know, I don't know. But I'm not his friend. We're not equal, not until he's 18. And I've told him that as well. We don't do punishment, and up until now we didn't need to. Usually he knows it when he went off the rails and cries when he wants to apologise. A big hug then works wonders. SO, all in ll, I don't find it very difficult. The only difficult part is that you need to give him attention, and that can be challanging after a day's work. Especially as he can keep on talking... and talking...and.. But the pride you get in return for seeing him succeed is better than any experience in my life.
Oh I need to try this tomorrow night!
She's still a gorgeous woman. I can't believe how determined she must be to become pregnant at her age.
Maybe the one reason we only have one child.
I have three. None that fly. But who's counting?
Good one. :-D
I love my son, now 2 years and 8 months old, but he can be a handful. My wife and I are often exhausted after a day of trying to keep the little lad occupied.
Yeah my daughter is 3. It gets easier. Just start them with the films early and that'll keep then occupied. My sons are older so they help a lot as well as taking in the occasional Bond film with me when we have time.
Mine is about to turn 7, tomorrow, in fact. But he's quite sensitive, so Bond is a bit too much as of yet. Allthough he's developing very fast lately.
Was it Roger's eye brow? :-P
It was probably the voodoo sacrifice scene in the PTS of LALD. That would be pretty scary for a youngster. Just as well he didn't see the later voodoo scene then!
It was the PTS. Which understandably is quite scary. I think the title sequence is also particularly macabre.
I wonder what the most child-friendly Bond film would be, also in terms of sufficiently simple plot. My guess would be MR, if Jaws and the python don't mess it up.
I'd say TMWTGG might be a contender too. Bond only kills one person in it (Scaramanga himself) and it's not terribly violent or scary.
I remember being very scared of Jaws in MR when I was a child. I didn't know I was watching a Bond film, only saw the bit in Rio when I was going through the channels, I thought it was a vampire movie, so I stopped. I must have been six or seven. My bet is probably GF and TB are the kids friendlest of Bond movies.
My younger son was scared of the Samedi laugh at the end on the train.
Honestly my sons started Bond at 3. I remember one of them wanting to watch the one with all of the scuba divers.
LTK is the only one still currently off limits until they're older
Not sure. I find the fun-house quite scary. ANd I'm supposed to be a grown-up!
Yes, it has that 70s Guy Hamilton bizarre and offbeat feel to it. Kind of creepy and sleazy and wonderfully odd. I myself was thinking of Nick Nack in that devil's mask and trident! Quite spooky to come across late at night!
And let's not forget, it has Christopher Lee.
But children are strange: my son had no problem watching the first three Pirates of the Caribbean movies, even with the zombies and sea mutants, but got scared when I was watching Clue, which is a zany comedy. So it's hard to know what's suitable.
