DS2 (4) wanted to be a tyrannosaurus rex when he grew up until he realised they are now extinct. Now he wants to be a man who wears a tyrannosaurus rex costume!

I will watch this thread with interest because I still have no idea of what I want to be when I grow up and I'm in need of careers advice.

I'm liking the dinosaur option - apart from the slight stumbling block of being extinct, does it pay well?

"I will have five children, I hope, or 1 if I'm not lucky" (ds only child so far)

Lissie, my 3 yr ds wants to be a digger too!

dd, who is 6, wants to be a mummy, an artist, a fashion show (?), a teacher, a writer or a baker.

She has wanted to be an artist for a couple of years now.

ds1 (9.5) in a successful band or a scientist. ''I'd better be a scientist to start with in case my band isn't that good....''

ds2 (6.5) train driver or footballer. When I ventured that he once said he'd like to be a spaceman, he looked at me and said pompously ''do you mean an astronaut?''

Footballer playing for Arsenal.

He was a bit fed up of DH working long hours a few months ago and said "Daddy why don't you just quit that job and be a manager for Arsenal?" Not too sure what Mr Wenger would think of being usurped by an accountant!!
