I’ve wondered how I can manufacture hardship without feeling abusive.

It isn't easy - For me I am lucky, I am a disappointing enough father that she will have plenty of hardship.

Lol well the fiancé always makes me the “bad guy” so maybe I’ll be as equally disappointing. Although right now he seems pretty appeased as long as we’re playing cars or dinosaurs.

I don't know how it happened. I was meant to be good cop... Sneaky mothers - all so the hard work the dad puts in to make the children great is met by a "Hi Mum" the first time they win something on camera.
