So who here has kids?

[Spec A!]

Ok so we covered the who are you, and what is your job threads already. We know about marriages, but what about kids? Who here has em?

Me- Maren is a little over 2.5yrs old, and my son Blake is due in August. We're totally done after this.

Your turn!

[kimmy]

Nope..... none....

To be honest I have enough trouble looking after myself never mind anyone else, although I have two cats..... does that count? (and a husband who can't look after himself?)

You mean this guy watching SpongeBob in the next room at the moment, who got out of school on Wednesday for summer vacation and is now constantly bugging to either entertain or feed him all day long while I'm trying to work?

Yes... an 8-year-old son. The light of my life.

Yep I can join the gang of those driven mad by The Teletubbies et al

My gorgeous pumpkins are Joe who is nearly 3 and Tom who has just hit the grand old age of 1.

They are slowly being indoctrinated with The Police and the fact that Mummy has her "special water" (large gin and tonics) after 6pm

Lol, Helen xx

[kimmy]

Ha ha ha......

I love the special water!!!!!

Don't let them go to someone elses house asking for special water!!!!!!

Tastes a bit funny though doesn't it?

I've got three making me very gray these days... 2 boys and a girl, 15, 13 & soon to be 9. My 8 year old daughter (afer seeing the Police coverage in Feb) commented "Mommy, I didn't know Sting was in the Police". She has listened to the Police for years, and knew I went to Sting concerts, but never reliazed that it's the same voice? I don't think she listens to sting stuff, so maybe I can understand a bit, but jeesh, she DOES live here...
I think I'm more excited to be introducing them to my childhood addiction more than seeing them again. The boys are right there at the age I was when the madness began. Sad thing is, this will be it for them. Hello and goodbye... at least maybe they'll understand where all of mommy's mad money goes!
Oh, we have two cats. Emily (the mom) and Joe. She was a pregnant stray. I tried to change the 'ho's name to Roxanne, but certain family members wouldn't hear of it.

I have a Moeskido: http://www.stewartcopeland.net/forum/pr ... e&u=102355


Michelle, did you just call your cat a ho?


"I'm feeling supersonic. Give me gin and tonic. You can have it all, but how much do you want it? . . ."

I am, gratefully, child free and plan to stay that way. I enjoy being an aunt immensely and I have a younger sister who is young enough to be my daughter but that is quite enough for me!

I'll sign up for the 'moms who celebrate special water' mailing list

My six-year old daughter for some reason goes crazy jwhenever she hears 'Spirits in the material world'. She was also thrilled to finally receive her 'Big Lebowski' -themed 'I can get you a toe' T-shirt, after a looooong wait. She really insisted on getting one even though she hasn't seen the movie yet (we'll wait a few years on that). I love her to bits

[Hannaha]

So, do any of you forcibly dress up your offspring in miniature police merchandise?! If so, we need pics!

[dafttart]

I was trying to get my two into tube socks today for a photo, but they were having none of it!!!!!!

[Hannaha]

Aaww pesky mites - that would have been awesome!

[dafttart]

Well who knows... a few more of Mummy's "special waters" and I might drag them out of bed at midnight and pop the tube socks on them mid-sleep

[kimmy]

A bribe? would that help?

Hey.... children in tube socks.......? Actually maybe not... you never know who might be browsing......... There are some strange people about..... Better be safe!
