Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Impending Fatherhood has curtailed my ski winter to one trip. Worse still I'm looking at baby care facilities when considering next season. Of course I can't wait for the chance to ski with my son or daughter and wife in the years ahead, but I do look back fondly to those drunken, womanising, shag and ski fests in the Alps.
Time for this old alley cat to grow old gracefully.
(surely I'll be allowed the odd lapse for old times sake?)
aaaaarrrrghhh!!! Bring on the self help group.

Ken - trust me, it gets easier!!!
I have a 4yr old and had to miss two seasons, cos I was stupid enough to get pregnant in May and had my son in February..... bad planning. The following yr I was recovering from the expense of a new born and neither me nor him indoors could afford it - had he gone on his own, I would have sulked no end. We managed a week the following yr, sans child (good old grandparents). Last yr my mum was too ill (she has cancer and it came back so she couldnt have the monster child from planet Zog.) This yr we are off with the child in tow, his first holiday. He was 4 on Feb 21st and we have used the excuse of the holiday to get out of buying him loads of toys..bonus.

thinking about it, what about a summer holiday at a ski resort. They do exist. I think Kaprun in Austria (glacier) is open for summer skiing.......... well its a thought.

We went over New Year and were going to be really cunning and get a cheap, late deal for Easter, not caring if we went or not - but we chickened out...

Fruity, 2 Alpes is great in the summer, much better than Tignes imo. Not only have you got the glacier, but there's loads to do for kids. I did an article for a mag a while back on the resort - take a look :

That particular visit was in the Autumn, and it's far more 'young people with kids' friendly in the summer. There's some great offers, it's rarely crowded, and it you contact Jeremy of the European Ski School (details in article) he'll help out with planning/skiing/accommodation arrangements.
Looking for a brilliant local English ski instructor? Contact Charlotte

- I took a 16 year old (alias Kevin from Harry Enfield & Chums) to 2 Alpes, bribed him to take a lesson with Charlotte, and he came back smiling for the first time in three years

Hello Fruity,
You haven't convinced me that it gets easier. Although there is light at the end of the tunnel, just bought a baby monitor. After a test, its range reaches my local pub-fantastic.

You know it makes sense.
