** foghorn!!! ** - need your help wrathers, serious question.
I dropped of Jnr Shoddy after a weekend with Daddy back at his mums this morning. All weekend he has been talking about his new 'tool', and ran in to show me it.
I know that his uncle had bought him a few screwdrivers and spanners in the past so I was interested in what his new 'tool' was.
He came out with a fully charged cordless drill and a box of stanley drill bits. he then started to try to put a razor sharp bit into the drill!
My son is 5. Surely 5 year olds shouldnt be playing with power tools????!!!! I was livid and kicked off to my ex, but I just thought I would drop it here to get a reaction before I take anything further.
What next, a f**king blow torch?

Posted By: megson, Feb 22, 13:13:35 - No way should he be using it.
