**** Vin, my wife has done me like a kipper. Ours is similar to your agreement without stuff in drawers. The stuff she gets is there though
The lots of sex will stop once the babies come. The lots if babies will stop once a couple of babies come. The bacon sandwiches will stop once the first baby comes along. Eventually you'll sit in bed on a Saturday morning wondering if you'd rather sex or a bacon sandwich
maybe for special treats put a fried egg in there...obviously with a runny yolk. makes my bananas and yoghurt breakfast seem a bit **** and im bloody hungry now
Sounds good! One's a definite no-no for me and two's a bit low. I have six siblings so as long as it's not that many!
Awww, a litter of portsmouthians. Remember folks they're cute now but soon they'll be all grown up and cost a fortune in domestic beer, cheap cigarettes and flannel shirts.
I prefer complete peace and quiet. Didn't mean to only have one, but actually suits me...I see him fairly often, but have lovely periods of peace between visits. My brother turned out to be the same as me, but too late...he had 5 kids and oodles of grand- and great-grand kids before he twigged that quiet is best.
I honestly don't know how you could give each one enough attention with so many (although I am sure some people manage it). I wouldn't want more kids than I feel I could thoroughly support and look after. Having so many kids seems so unsustainable.
Except I'm not from Portsmouth and neither are any of my family! Is he the eighth son of an eighth son? It can be quite 'fun' on occasions, like Christmas and stuff and it was certainly never dull growing up, especially the Sunday meals. There were only really five of us as my two eldest brothers moved out when I was quite young. It does mean I now have enough nephews and nieces to field an entire football team. But from a parental point of view it must have been a nightmare!
In a large family, love must come from your siblings as parents cannot give each child the attention that they'd get in a smaller family. Newborn babies supplant toddlers from the mother's attention. Not saying it's wrong, just the way it is. The strange thing is that some thrive as only children and some are better in a larger family...problem is that you can't guarantee that each is in the right sized family.
Even though I'm not like super close with most of my siblings (contrasting interests!) especially as they all have kids now so I can't really contribute much on discussions about raising children and stuff, I'd still hate to be an only child.
