About the Blog

I became a father on 17th April 2010. Even though I was prepared for being a dad, I was not the least bit prepared for what it meant to be a dad. This blog is about some of the pleasing, joyful, horrid, wonderful and annoying realisations that I've had as a parent of a beautiful baby girl.

Sarcasm

My daughter was playing a computer game. The most I feel like irritating her is when she’s focused on something. She was saying, “For members only. For members only. For members only. Ah I can buy this!” You can buy items on the game with points you earn by playing the game. The game is free to play, but you can pay real money and become a member. Members earn more points and can buy more items. She usually doesn’t complain. She knows we’re too cheap to pay for games, but she’s seems content with that.

She says, “Good idea” with a straight face. I’m not sure at this point if she’s just saying okay to get rid of me, or because she really liked the idea. I had also implied that she should make games when she grows up, and she usually doesn’t allow me to make hypothetical career choices for her. So, I decide to dig a little deeper...
