Would have it any other way, just bought school boy memories back..... and a huge to my face.
never thought about that, i used to play sax. . . . my poor parents
Mine did the violin, it was sheer hell.
Cheers,

Oh the memories, all left home now, just ask for money in larger denominations.
I'm currently teaching a 9 year old clarinet AND alto sax.........
I give him homework for both.....
Currently practising Christmas Carols so he can give his family a recital on Christmas eve!
His little 5 year old brother now wants to join in......he is getting a recorder for Christmas...... from me! LOL
It IS great when you can teach them to be noisy and then send them home to show their parents/sister/brother what they have learnt this week!

By the way, those little ear plugs we use for racing, are pretty good....

All mine brings home is ATTITUDE 
Can't wait until she moves out
My missus plays clarinet and cello and is really good on both but she's wound me up recently as she bought a new clarinet 9 months ago and has
played it twice - it cost a sodding fortune!! - GRRR
I love reading about the problems people have with their children. Really sets off my schadenfreude. I must try harder to resist

No, I don't have children, I prefer cats

Mine are practicing keyboard players / singers. Don't tell them, but I quite like listening to them practice, tbh. We have a laugh and join
in.
Besides, as an "improving" guitarist (aka not very good), I'd be prime target for whatever hassle I gave them...
Confess I'm not looking forward to the possibility of having to introduce Mr Baseball Bat to any dodgy bloke they brought home, though.

It's threads like this that remind me why I don't have kids yet. That and the fact that I'm young enough for some on here to be my dad.
Hell, some are old enough to be my grand dad! 
We're waitin for the oldest daughter to get big enough to hold a decent guitar so she can learn.. But has expressed an interest in drums so
we're getting her the new guitar hero kit to see if she picks that up and then decide weather to get a guitar or drum kit next year!!!
but then I've 2 basses, a lead guitar in the living room along with my " oh thats big enough not to need to go through the P.A." bass
amp and then theres also the jackson flying vee in the bed room!!!!
Good thing next door are family
Trust me a recorder is nothing...
Wait till they start bringing boys home!
Of course the best fun is when they bring a male teacher home!
Luxury for all you folks who have one or two kids who play "musical" instruments!!
My other half is a strings teacher and I have to endure her pupils every evening!!! And my three year old son has his own violin (Twinkle Twinkle
little star was cute for the first few weeks...)
Plus I've got the added pain of scrimping and saving to pay the bills whilst Miss Owelly has a £20k violin and a £2k bow sat in a case......!!!
Fekin musicians....
