Fathers have a lot to do to make up for having sons.

My father wouldn't get us a TV, he wouldn't allow a TV in the house.

As a father now, I wouldn't do what my dad did, because it left me feeling emotionally unstable as a kid. But he didn't do the things he did out of selfishness or malice.

The fact my relationship with my son is so good makes me forgiving of my father and also appreciative.

Everything I thought I'd hate about having children - the crying, the screaming - nothing fazes me. I love it all and it's relaxed me.

I've always been dead set against festivals, really suspicious and wary.
