What with all the new dads on the board and the new Deck The Halls film about dads warring about who can give their ankle biters the best Christmas, I thought it was time to ask... are you a competitive dad?
Do you pull out all the stops for your kids and hang everything else?

No I'm not, I wouldn't see the point in having more lights than a neightbour or anything else like that.
Plus, we all know it's nothing to do with being a dad, that's all about you you and erm... you!
I don't like it if another child in my daughters group is on a higher book or something like that, but I don't push my daughter to catch up or even beat. I just keep it to myself and tell her she's doing well(which she is, being in the top group of the whole year), I don't believe in giving a child of 7 stress like that!
I wouldn't usually consider myself a competitive Dad, but as with this weekend as an example, I wanted to have the best xmas decorations on our street. So I went down to B&Qs to get a few bits and pieces, but after coming back and seeing the neighbours accomplishments I made several trips down there in order to stand out more!
I think it was more that as I have a good relationship with the neighbours it's like a friendly competition. Maybe subconsciously it's me trying to show my kids what Dad can achieve, i'm not sure really....
If I said No, the cubs would just explode with laughter.......so YES!
But then, my kids are best!
I try to be good though...well, a bit......
...and, by the way, my eldest boy's band has just been in NME in the "unsigned bands to watch" section and my other son's doing really well in the theatre business!
i think wolfgang's done a good job of raising his kids.
however
i do remember moving into a new home that needed loads of work doing to it and wolfgang buggering off the america for 7 weeks, staying in a 5 star hotel, leaving the hard work of sanding floorboards etc. etc. for his young family.
