00:00How have you managed? Have you helicoptered them? Have you left them to it?
00:04I've left them to it. But not, I hope not, in a careless way.
00:08But I've got kids from 34 down to 12.
00:11And I think the 12-year-old's the lucky one,
00:13because she gets me at my most relaxed now.
00:16In fact, I said to her, I was trying to get quite sort of cross one day,
00:19and I said, do you ever get frightened when I raise my voice?
00:22And she looked at me and said, just don't be ridiculous.
00:26So I'm not sure I have the paternal authority that some have,
00:29but I enjoy being a father enormously.
00:32It's the most fun. And as they get older, it becomes more fun.
00:35And we were talking about this before.
00:37The best job, forget helicopter parenting.
