I call my mother “mum” 99% of the time and occasionally call her Val-ree for fun (name is Valerie)

Calling parents by name full time is disrespectful in my opinion .. but his parents clearly don’t care

Probably weird parents Damo. Lefty types with green and pink hair.

The old man did play for geelong so that itself says a lot.

I started calling my Mum by her first name or her nickname from when I was about 25 until she passed away. She didn't care, she loved it. It started out as a bit of running joke as she always said to people who called Mrs Ryan "don't call me that just call me Thel" .

One day I said what about me? She laughed and said you can call me Thel but you have to call Mrs Ryan for a week first  :lol. So I did  :laugh: . Still called her Mum on certain occasions.

And no she wasn't some lefty with green or pink hair.

My step kids used to call me Andy/dad 50-50 and one day my first born son called me Andy and it killed me a bit. Maybe because being a step parent is often so unrewarding and so much worse than being a real parent when the ex is still in the picture just enough to be difficult but never enough to make a good impact.

Had never wanted to ask my kids to call me dad if they didn't want to but after that I asked them to, at least in front of my bio son. They did and it's all been sweet since thankfully. Also helps they're figuring out their bio dad is a useless tosser (and pie supporter) who lives with his parents at 30 and moved 3 hours away from his own kids.

Looking forward to seeing how he performs today. Would be handy if he turns into a solid player as he is a good size and hits targets.

6/4 81kg and hits targets? Must be a mistake. Good luck to him

Yup doesn’t look overawed at all. Should cement his spot down back next season.
