mini-Blues x 2
Player Valuation: £500k
Born a blue 46 years ago my kids 2 -3 and 6 born blues.
....went the match last week with my son, loved seeing him stand to Z Cars and feel what I felt growing up. He's 28 now and suffers like us all but I wouldn't want it any other way. My daughter works away but is a true Blue, I'm more than chuffed at the people they are.
I didn't raise them to be Blue, they chose to be Blue and it's wonderful.

My eldest lad is Everton daft, his little brother not quite as intense but a big fan. The fact that they love the city makes my brainwashing of them all the easier.
As you know I live in North east. Other half is a NUFC fan. I'm at least 3rd generation Evertonian. When he was about 4, my now 23 year old son said "I want to be an Evertonian like you Mum" I nearly cried, bought him a top next time I was in Liverpool and he has been ever since. We go to the match together when we can. It's great. Our next trip to Goodison is the derby match. Oh dear.....
I've two grown up daughters... eldest never showed any interest in sport.
In complete contrast, my youngest played hockey, netball and rugby competitively at school and despite me taking her to Goodison and elsewhere she never showed any real inclination towards footie.
Then one day, the stars and planets aligned and the Evertonian in her genes came racing to the surface, and we've enjoyed lots of good days and sadly, too many disappointing ones following the Blues together.
Leaving Wembley after losing the 2009 cup final and her crying equally made me proud and broke my heart.

If I ever have a kid (and I stress IF 
), and they tell me they are going to support someone else, then I will be fuming, but equally will feel I have failed as a father to be honest

My nephew's being brought up a blue. Only right that family should share the suffering.
my sons a blue but doesn't get upset when Everton lose. He's only 8 though so I'm glad it doesn't ruin his days like mine. Daughter is 3 and even though the missus thinks she won't grow up to be a blue, she will. I just couldn't have my children supporting those scruffs across the park.

I got 3 lads. Now aged in their 20s. They didn't have a choice. From the day they were born I made sure they were blues. Nothing else to say

I am forcing my 5 yr old lad to be a blue. It's character building
Much the same with my two year old. He went to goodison the first time when he was twelve weeks old. Years of torture ahead for both of us!!
As soon as my lad was slipping out of my other half, he was slipping into an Everton baby grow.

Raised my lads as Evertonians but they both curse me for it.
To be fair, I don't blame them.
