to want to leave home and return only once all my kiddies are past the teenage strops........

[psychomum5]

cos believe me, once all my girls are in the throw's of PMT, I will either shoot myself or have buried them in the garden just to achieve some peace.

one lot of hormones is hell.......so I am now wondering what on earth possessed me to think that five children would be a lovely family size as that just means that I will now suffer five lots of hormones.

argh

I am not having fun here right now!!!!!

[SheSellsSeashellsByTheSeashore]

will you take me with you? my youngest is 15 months so i think about 20 years should do it?

21 is a nice age.

[JuneBugJen]

Already saving up to put my dd (age 4) into boarding school from age12-18.

I'm joking really.

(No I'm not)

[psychomum5]

ooh, company sounds grand

[SheSellsSeashellsByTheSeashore]

i vote somewhere with little rain. its been pissing down all day here and i have to do the school run four times!! im still soggy!! and have to go to tesco yet as we have no tea and dd1 wont stop making dd2 cry!!

[psychomum5]

I am thinking then an island far far away, that is warm and dry, and has an abundance of good food cooked by pretty men........

[psychomum5]

ok, am beginning to wonder if I can float away rather than run.......the road outside looks like a river right now

[slightlycrumpled]

If it's any consolation psycho boys tend not to be quite so hormonal as teenagers, although they do get rather smelly! Either smelling like a tarts parlour, or really bad smelly feet!!

I would definately advocate leaving home untill they have all grown up, left home, got places and partners of their own and can look after you!!

Hope you don't end up swimming later, the rain looks set to continue I think.

[psychomum5]

well, the wway the girls spray themselves already, I think the boys will be msked in their smelliness.

rain is slower at the mo, have just had to rescue toys and stuff from the conservatory tho and put bowls everywhere on the kitchen side as it is pouring thro the boiler vent

[SheSellsSeashellsByTheSeashore]

i like your thinking can we set off now or do we need to wait for the rain to stop? because if its the latter i have feeling dd2 will be nearing 21 when we leave

[psychomum5]

I think now!!

I have an emergency kit set up, so my lot will be safe.

I have one for us.......it contains wine

[fizzbuzz]

Perhaps the child catcher on Chitty Chitty Bang Bang wasn't such a bad guy after all.

I have a teenager and a 2 year old. Life is a real bowl of cherries ATM. Strops and tantrums on both sides

[psychomum5]

eek.......both ends

not fun, you may join us

[noonki]

[ChacunaSonGout]
