The Future

Another day at work and another day where the hobby seems so far away, this seems so much the recurring theme of my life.

My son turns 3 in February next year and I keep asking myself what age do I introduce him to the hobby to see if it’s going to be an interest of his. But i know that he already has been as even now he has an interest in my figures and dice to the point where I had to teach him to roll dice not lob them across the room. He currently now I think about it has his own dice, a hand full of Space Wolves and a tape. I will admit I am a mix of hope and horror when you ask him what army he wants and all he says is he wants Brums. Brums, the little man wants an army of Armour to the point I wonder firstly does this mean a Mech IG, Eldar or even Space Marine army and how much is it going to cost his old dad. Well I am guessing time will tell, his English will improve and the whole truth will come out.

Maybe it’s the hope that with my son wanting to hobby with his dad I will get more time for what I love to do and the fun part of getting more games in as well. Maybe it’s a deep hope that as my son gets older he will find me at least interesting and want to spend the time with me he does now. Parenthood changes you in so many ways.

Let’s see how we go!
