The Grumble

Teeth Grinding has to be the worst noise in the work it literally makes my skin crawl… Baby Grumble has been doing this since she had 2 teeth and I can remember the first time she did it I was like what the hell is that noise then it clicked and I winced at the […]

I arrive at my local swimming pool today, and the car park is rammed to the rafters with cars. Which is actually great to see and then I see a space I drive down to it, and it has a scooter parked in it. Not only is this idiot parked in a parent and child […]

I like a good container about as much as any man but 18 months into this being a parent lark I think I am going to drown in Tupperware. Mrs Grumble is very organised, in fact, she is so organised I know what I am going to be eating three weeks from now, and you […]

What the hell is wrong with people? I was at the shops the other day with baby grumble, and some other mother came up and was trying to make conversation with me. To be honest I have enough shit to deal with when Mrs Grumble talks to me so, to be honest, I wasn’t fucking […]

I have been a dad now for nearly 12 months, and one thing I have noticed is that Christ my reflexes have dramatically improved over those 12 months. I was rubbish at all sports when I was growing up and catching anything but a stomach bug was impossible for my dangly noodle arms but as […]

Taking Baby Grumble on her first flight was going to be a challenge, but god we did not think it was going to be this bad… We get Baby Grumble to the airport, and thankfully we have some friends with us, and they help carry the mass of luggage, and to other airport goers, it […]

For a bloke, this has to be one of the most traumatising times of your life, and I would almost say it is more awkward than getting a surprise boner at school… I am talking about going to a baby class, a class that is targeted to hormonal, grumpy, sleep-deprived witches that have just squelched […]

My life at the moment revolves around me wiping dribble off from my arms, Clothes, floors, walls, kitchen worktops, tables pretty much any surface that is remotely flat or absorbent. My life is one big wet moist dribble. Baby Grumble is teething, and she spends her life with long strands of dribble leaking out the […]

Now I am about 4 months into being a father and I think I am enjoying it. Baby Grumble is quite a happy child and we are sleeping ok. Well I don’t get up when she cries because I don’t hear her and because I work late in to the evenings and go to bed […]
