Are You Ready to Have Kids?

[Hilary B]

I still agree with my Mum
"when they are little they make your arms ache, when they grow they make your heart ache, but you wouldn't be without them"
Must say that most of the original 'warning' didn't happen with mine. They didn't spread toys everywhere, and CERTAINLY didn't get food in strange places, and I was lucky to have peaceable babies who slept when they were supposed to (mostly).
Maybe its just that being a Mum is about forgetting the worst bits (giving birth seems to be) and remembering 'minor annoyances' and the pleasures.

I wouldnt be without any of mine. I am so laid back anyway ( so I am told ). My house has always been untidy getting better now with just a teenager at home. My four boys were fairly good. No children are angels and if you believe they are, then there is something wrong. You take the good with the bad when you are a parent. Children are for life not just the weekend lol. Even though the boy's are aged between 21 and 30 they still can cause concern and joy. No matter they are mine all mine and I love them to bits. I dont have a favourite and you can bet if one phones they all phone, I think they send vibes to each other. If they fall out ( boys !!!! ) I make sure they make up and I know if one is in trouble they all stick together and help each other.

I'm amazed they didn't mention anything about clothes:

Leave yogurt to go sour, dribbling down back and wear as is for rest of day.

Actually both me and OH missed smelling of baby milk once she'd got past that stage and OH actually admitted that he secretly liked having baby dribble down his back - it's was his 'daddy badge'

Glad to say mine's not done 3/4 of those things and I was back to reading books about 4 weeks after she arrived. Sounds like most of us have been blessed in more ways than one with our kids.

definitely not, unfortunately the very large 17 and 21 year old aliens in my house seem to disagree..

I don't really need the test to answer that... a huge, big, fat NO!

I've gradually been witnessing my female friends succumbing to the broody bug since I was 18 and I have to confess that, at the ripe old age of 29, I still haven't been bitten by the bug.

Me neither - and I'm 46!

I used to have a sweet, adorable, chatty, funny little bod in my house he has recently morphed into a nocturnal being who comes out of his room to raid the fridge and cupboards or get ready to go out with mates, his room has changed from bunny wallpaper and painted clouds on the ceiling to a crypt look all black walls, floor, bedlinen and curtains.
Come to think about it, he lives in a crypt, only feeds at night and sleeps all day and seems allergic to sunlight.
Do you think he might be a vampire?
