Update from last weeks terrible parent thread 19:54 - Jul 21 with 1684 views

Just back from pool which he was more than happy to pop to, took my 11 year old son as well. Eleven is too young for a pool and snooker club, I'm suprised he survived :)

Terrible parent moment, how would you deal with it? by StuartBrett8 15 Jul 2017 10:28
My eldest son is 13, autistic and very competitive... thrives at school but isn't very socialble. Last week I decided to challenge him to a few games of pool (just to get him to leave the house) and if he won I'd get him a Â£15 game on PSN. So he beats me 3-0 with his autism super power.

I was delighted for him as he was absolutely buzzing about it and couldn't wait to go again.... last night I thrashed him 3-1 and we have a very bad loser on our hands. I didn't let him win last week, I probably just assumed I'd beat him.

You shouldn't just let your kid's beat you should you? How to I get him to accept defeat gracefully?

Sticking 'We are the champions' on repeat was probably a bad move on my part :)

And..?

Who won? What was the response? Did you really only take the eleven year old as well so you could have an "Undisputed Brett Family Champion" T-shirt?

Hope it went well. It's good that he was willing to go again.

I trust you ran round the table with your cue above your head when you seven balled him.

Callum (13yo) beat me first game, then Alfie beat Callum because Callum potted the white straight after the black... and then I beat Callum in the last game.. so he's 5-4 up on agg :)

Used to be a house rule in a boozer round here that if you got seven-balled you had to do 7 laps of the table with your trousers round your ankles.
