Until some-one says something nasty to him and then he'd be banned....He's got a foul mouth on him..... Can't think where he gets that from I have enough trouble undertanding his 'text speak' on face book as it is
It's easier to write to strangers than it is to talk to the one's you love some-times so i may persuede him to write on here.

The first time that baby gives you an open mouth slobbery kiss or the first time you hear him say the word "daddy", now that is the true meaning of cool.

Yes, and when you come home from your job when little Craig gets bigger and he's so excited to see dada! Babies always say dada first...its easier. My Quin used to say dada all day long.

Your mum says you still want to come up for a few days to go fishing. You know the door is always open here for you. It will be tough leaving the baby behind for a few days but maybe if we go overnight fishing, we can talk.
If you don't want to leave the baby, we can come down to you. Your mum and Auntie Julie can gossip all day with the baby and we can go off sea fishing instead. Let me know as i'll have to sort you out rods etc.
Behave yourself Mint, bcause I'm watching you! Text me if you read this tonight.
Love you son. Uncle Pete

How is Craig doing these days? Have you or Peter had him to your home Oscar?

I appreciate you asking and caring Ducks..... you are a true friend. He appeared in court last week and he got a years suspended sentence for two years. He has to behave himself now for two years or he'll be in prison for one year.
He has really got into being a dad and is not out with his mates as much, prefering to spend time with his baby. He's now looking for a full time job so i think things are looking up.
We are going down next week to see him and the family again.

Now that is some good news! Can he get work with his dad?

It's an idea that's been tried before but as a teenager he doesn't like being told what to do by his dad. Maybe when he's older he may feel different i hope.

Any job at this point will be good for him. Yes, I agree with you there. My son works for his dad every Saturday or Sunday...will probs work for him the rest of his life. My son is very good at some plumbing...fixed my sink the little bugger & it's still working great after 2 yrs.. But Craig is older so I understand where he's coming from but at the same time, it would do good to get him into the business.

He's been assigned a youth officer who is helping him look for work that he has to report to every day. God, I bet he hates that. I will keep you updated on him and thanks for caring

Well that is good news though Oscar. And I'm sure he hates it but in the long run...he'll be happier I think. At least somebody outside of the family is encouraging him to do the right thing. Which isn't to say you all aren't, but I'm sure he hates that too. Someone from the outside can do wonders.
