Arguments in partnerships

[Guest Paulo]

Hi all, have fell out with my dad after yesterdays race and he's now spat the dummy out and won't do the shutters for my darkness YB's or let the birds in when they come back from training.

 

Argument was I would only clock two birds in and he wanted to clock more in despite the bloke down the road who flies in our club having four drop in before me and another lad in our fed having one drop in. I would only clock the first bird on and my show pool pigeon when it came because I could tell by the times that the birds were off the pace despite getting a club win and a 3rd fed last week.

 

He spat the dummy out and gave me the garden keys back and true to his word hasn't been down for two days.

 

Now I've done the shutters myself two days but will have to take the young birds off the dark early as can't do them tomorrow as will have been at work which is 50 miles away from the loft for 2 hours.

 

Will this adversly affect the YB's? Think I will continue to train them up and then race them even though they won't win nowt on natural around ours.

 

As for old birds they have had 6 x 12 milers and 5 x 25 miler tosses and two races one race 70 miles and the other 110 miles. I have a section of cocks on natural and two sections on roundabout cocks and hens. totall a race team of 30 birds.

 

Will only have a hour spare in the morning as have to leave work for 6.50 at the latest as have a 50 mile commute to work and a 50 mile commute back. Used to take the birds training to work everyday for a 25 mile toss but can't do that now as none to watch them back and then seperate them.

 

So I was thinking let the two sections of cocks out for the morning fly for a hour. Then on a night when I get home take all pigeons training. Then let my young birds out.

 

To be honest I think this will be my last season as my new job has made pigeon racing harder and harder work and has taken all the fun out of the birds. Doing my final years honours degree part time isn't helping at all. Before I worked three miles from work and even though my job was fairly hard I could be home in 15 minutes and down the loft!

 

I have a stress rash all over my chest and back can't sleep on a night though worrying about work and uni and having chest pains and muscle spasms and he drops me in the crap over this!

 

I like to win when I race or at least compete otherwise what is the point. Anyone want to buy some pigeons!

 

Still when my relocation to Richmond takes place I can get a small loft again with a few natural pairs and race long distance inthe NFC or summat be a lot less stressful than this!

 

Is the working pigeon man a dying breed!

 

Anybody got an ideas maybe I should re-pair all the pigeons and just let them all out together and race natural

[DUBLINFLYER]

you's should kiss and make up they're only racing pigeons... your relationship with your dad is far more important, let the dust settle and i'm sure it will blow over... lifes too short

[Guest Paulo]

The other option is call this season a write off due to worklife and degree. Sack the birds off apart from feeding them and letting them out once a day. Get my dissertation finished for my degree.

[fletch]

to be honest mate dont jump the gun let the dust settlke and go and get your dad back helping you all partnerships have disagreements/ fall outs. just agree to disagree and then get your season back on track,

for all the difference it would make, and i do know where your coming from, you should have stuck 6 in the clock and sent your dad to the club with ot. When he got the vibes from the others he'd only want 2 in next time! Never fall out over them. Go and tell him your under pressure and he can clock as many as he wants in future. I'm sure part of the enjoyment in the birds comes from swharing the hobby with your dad anyway. Good luck and don't be hasty.

great advice

[Guest IB]

He's your dad, he's your partner, and you need his help and support just now. It's also an important chapter in your life so don't write your dad out of it. Bite the bullet, let him know he is appreciated and ask him back. And remember, as a partner he has as much right to time in more if that's what he wanted to do.

 

Hope you get it patched up, the quicker the better.

Exactly

[sapper756]

It,s all been said m8, I,m sure once eveybody has calmed down and had time to lick their wounds, all will be fine, it may need you to make the first move, we all know how some folks can be stubborn and bite off their nose to spite their face

Doesn't matter who is right or wrong--you shouldn't be washing your dirty linen in public especially when it is your father concerned

nva fall out wi family ova birds just gives u a bigger bad headache then the birds do,, let him do what he wants sounds to me like he puts as much work in as u if not more let him time in as many as he wants u dnt know for certain that those birds were off that week cud b 1,s late off week b4 or 1,s they had out earlier in the mornin av made that mistake b4 nva timed in and found out they werent off the actual race m8 go see ur dad tell him he can run the roost from now on and that will giv u both satisfaction,, u can go to work with peace ov mind and ur dad can do what he wants which will please him m8 anyway gd luck wi the outcome

true word that m8 wish i still had my dad and yes we did fall out many times about pigeon but like the man said life is to short   my advice is ring your dad and tell him you love him wish i could m8 hope this helps  

[Guest portmuffins]

my dads in hospital 19 weeks wish i could have him at the loft to argue, shout, talk, laugh and his help so make up and be thankfull he is there to argue with  don,t let this run go back and say SORRY it not such a big word even if you are not at fault.

[Guest Paulo]

he still hasn't come down I'll give him a few days to stew and then say sorry. My dark system is buggered up but Mr J Bambling has given me a few tips to make it work without him

[gangster]

paulo be the bigger man here get over n sort your differences out before the rift gets 2 big to sort...

[Guest portmuffins]

a few days can be to late sometimes why wait go now and make up you will get over the buggered up dark system HOW would you get over  it IF anything happened ur DAD?

[Guest j.bamling]

he still hasn't come down I'll give him a few days to stew and then say sorry. My dark system is buggered up but Mr J Bamling has given me a few tips to make it work without him

 

I would still make it up with your dad paul   ;) He is a big help to you when you are not there

[DJWa]

i will tell you that your dad will be missing the partnership just as much as you

prob sitting at home wishing he hadnt fallen out with you

and not knowing how to break the ice

i bet a phone call or better still a visit would get things back on track

 

good luck

[jack]

hope everything works out for you pal
