Haha I wasn't sure if your name was a nod to the TV show or if you literally had 3 sons!
I get a lot of text pictures from this friend of events and functions in his family. He lives near me, so I've even been invited to some of them. He's even sent pictures from christening's, which I've even attended.
I get it, people like to show off their family and I know if I had a family, I'd probably be doing the same. One of my best friend's, who lives back in Jersey, sent me pictures of his son driving when he first got his license. He was pretty stoked about that and took all these pictures of him driving.
He even gave him his GT500 when he got his license and wanted to take all these pictures of him driving it. It's an 07 I think, from when they put them out back then. And that's his only son/child, so he loves taking pictures and showing off his son's accomplishments. I also was sent pictures of him going to work. He's in a carpenters union now, which is the kind of work I did when I was still living up there. He got in right after graduating high school 1.5 years ago, so he was pretty proud of that.
That’s all great stuff. Most of us with kids are pretty insufferable if you let us show our kids off in photos or stories. I try to choose my spots carefully. Excitement and joy usually just sounds like boasting and I’m very aware that my kids’ accomplishments are their own and it doesn’t prove anything about me as a person or parent.
Anyway back to hockey and the game today was pretty ugly but as others have noted that will happen from time to time when a team with a flawed roster plays a certain style and fails to execute it.
