Never felt I've been overprotective but ever watchful and ready to guide and protect if need be.

My lad was travelling the world at the age of sixteen in a cadetship as a navl officer trainee and I look at him now, 25 years of age and studying for his Chief Officers ticket.

My daughter is almost 21 and in her final year at university so what the future holds for her I'm not yet sure.

Taking all things into consideration I don't think my wifes parenting skills have been bad at all but when out and about I often witness the results of poor parenting.
