Just went up to The Boy's bedroom with him so he could show me something he'd made. I noticed he'd broken one of his toys so I had a look at it to try and fix it, but it was too broken. "You're not clever enough to fix it," he said, "Daddy could, because he's cleverer than you." I know it shouldn't bother me, but it has. Biological Dad is a moron. He left school with nothing but GCSEs, didn't bother working for five years, and even when he did he couldn't keep a job. This clever man now answers the phone in a call centre for a living. I know The Boy meant nothing bad by it, but I can't help but feel chopped down.

About Me
- Pseudo Dad
- I am 27-years-old and one of the growing number of men bringing up another man's child, dealing every day with the bizarre workings of a child's mind, and the injustice of being the one who punishes but can claim no responsibility for improvements.

- The Boy to Pseudo Dad: "Why won't you smell my bum, I've had a bath?"
- The Boy: "It's sad, some people forget to love."
- The Boy: "No, ghosts aren't real...except in New York."
- The day he was caught weeing down his sister's back when she was on the toilet, and couldn't understand why this might be a bad idea.
