Hi all,
just been reading on the good old BBC about the need to have more baby's (Badge is doing his bit! ) and came across a grat joke;

There's a popular joke told around this time of year that asks: Why wasn't Jesus born in Australia?

The answer is: Because God couldn't find three wise men and a virgin.

Well apart from that, who has a large family or is planning to have one?

my immediate family is biggish - 3 kids, 4 if you count t'other half!!
otherwise it WAS just me, brother, mum and aunt.
until last month when i met up with my dads family (and spoke to my dad for the first time in 15-20 years!) and I now have a HUUUUUGE family - 7 cousins, all married with kids and grandkids.......my christmas list just got mega!!!

sue

We've three under 4. We're due in Sydney in April and then fourth baby is due in July (but that's all after that!).

eek!!!!!!!!!!!!! I would def think you have enough by then!!! And there's me thinking I was mad with my 3 kids aged 9,12 & almost 15!!! Crikey you really have your hands full...how on earth do you find time for expats???

Hiya Dunwaitin,
we had a big discussion about childeren before we were married and we wereall for them, the more the merier, yep big family.

Now we've had one or should I say my wife had one i think we will settle for 3 but who knows we're only young :scared:

nahhhhh.....quit while you're ahead!

Worth ther weight in gold Artep!

It's the little things like her laugh, wave and smile that make me happy.
I wonder what she will be like as a person when she grows up, and that's what I live for.

Tell me about it. At least they're all tucked up by 7.30 so I normally get a few mins after dinner.

Pandemonium is our normal state of affairs. 'Specially now the youngest (9 months) has just started crawling.

At least our flight out should be interesting. [Note to everyone else - stay away from the 22:15 LHR-SYD Singapore Air flight on 7th April].

You wait until she DOES grow up!!! They're FAB when they're babies...it just unfortunate that they have to grow up!
All your best plans for how you're going to mould them etc... how they speak and what they eat etc...they're all blown to oblivion when they go to school and mix with all kinds of kids form 'interesting' backgrounds....sad but true Kids are heavily influenced by their friends..

eek!!! - note to self....do not under ANY circumstances book that flight!!!


Hey make the most of them being in bed so early...BLISS!!! we rarely get shut of ours before 10pm these days!!!!

Artep,
if she grew up here she would be exposed to drugs, crime and social deprevation, and not to mention she might be a minority by then. It sucks

Ps
It's also cold!

Hey, but I bet they can get themselves breakfast and don't wake up at 6 (every day). :scared:

absolutely thats why I'm moving my brood ASAP....drugs are commonplace in my kids world. Fortunately for me I KNOW my eldest (almost 15) is far to switched on to mess with all that. I'm lucky we have a really good relationship..

Oh yea!!!! I taught them that from an early age!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm lucky if I see my teenager by 10am on the weekend!....and I only get a grunt when I do!!!

Hiya Artep,
I don't mind not knowing where she is as long as she was safe.

That's the reason why I'm off as well!

Bye
Mark
