Anyone else with 4 boys?

[Mumof3cheeky]

We not long found out we are having another little stinker and we are over the moon and can’t wait to tell my other ds they are having a baby brother. Life is already noisy and smelly with lots of inappropriateness so I can only imagine what it will be like with another one thrown in 😀

Anyone out there for a fun and lighthearted chat about boys only? 😁

[HappyGowerGirl]

I don't have four boys but I'd love to😊 My husband is one of 4 boys and the vibe/sense of brotherhood is amazing!

[cakeymccakington]

Yep! Me!
Mine are 12, 10, 8 and 3

[Mumof3cheeky]

Hi Happy and Cakey,

Mine are 8,6,4 so this is going to be a bigger gap but is also my bonus baby and is most likely the last one so really wanted to enjoy babyhood for the last time

[LinoleumBlownapart]

Yes, 14, 8, 5 and 18 months. I also have a girl though, she's 12, she loves to hate them

[Nomoretears56]

I have 4 boys, all adults now, life was.... Interesting

[TheFirstMrsDV]

Mine are 7,9,14 and 23.
I had a girl but she died when she was 14.

[Afreshturkeyplease]

I have three boys. And a girl who is just as much a boy as her brothers.

[ThroughThickAndThin01]

Just three here. Would have loved another (DH said no, no more!, sadly)

[Mumof3cheeky]

How old are they Nomoretears? Have they all settled down? I would love to know if the one that I think will be a trouble as they older does actually turn out to be the one or the roles change later on??

[Tinselistacky]

8 boys here!! The ones that were harder work as babies /toddlers are indeed the ones that are harder still!! 25 yo keeps me awake with worry at night, yet his placid 23 db is still as laid back as ever!!

[Nomoretears56]

35, 31,27, 24, all moved out, the youngest last week!! They are all very different, a bit of advice.... Never let them watch wrestling, my 4 used to practice headlocks etc on each other, it was carnage!!! I'd say they have all changed over the years except no. 3 son, he was incredibly laid back as a child and still is, he has 2 sons of his own now and is a fantastic dad, he has patience that I never had.

We have six aged 38,37,34,31,24 and my youngest turned 18 on Friday .All completely different personalities , career choices , a couple went off the rails ,but after a spell away have turned themselves around ,one has just started a PhD .Life has been a rollercoaster since I was 16 years old ,but hey I'm still here and now have 4 grandsons !!

[DarkestBeforeDawn]

I have four boys too! It’s mad! Mine are really young still (5,5,3,1) but suffice to say I think the teenage years will be interesting 😬

[Nomoretears56]

I had years of football, rugby and cricket practice. Toilet seat always left up, smelly socks and mucky bedrooms but I wouldn't change it for anything. The house is very quiet these days (and tidy)

[Mumof3cheeky]

Tinsel, Nomoretear,French that fills me with sweat already and I worry about their later life already. The only thing that keeps me hopeful that dp had gone off the rail toobit found himself again and turned his life around so the boys will carry those qualities with them but until that develops Im happy to worry for them 😬

[Mumof3cheeky]

• I HOPE the boys will carry those qualities

[Nomoretears56]

I never had girls so I this is just a my opinion but boys seem to be much more straightforward, they don't have seem to have the "side" that girls do. I think boys are easier, they're much more what you see is what you get.

[Mumof3cheeky]

and Nomoretears I will not let them watch wrestling thank you. Unfortunately I can safely say the violence has reached an unsafe level and have heard of siblings fighting with the kitchen knife so I’m praying that’s a couple of years early yet for us and honestly don’t know what I will do if the fighting carries on beyond my size 😩

[Tedster77]

I only have 2 but my best friend has 4 and we holiday together, have tea together etc so that’s 6. It’s awesome . Crazy but awesome. They are all so different thought. Only 1 of the 6 likes sport. One is very theatrical and in to dance. One is a very quiet and w loner etc etc. Wish I could have had more!

[Nomoretears56]

Be firm and mean what you say, always follow through with punishments. It was the only way to protect my sanity sometimes. I found with mine that they would fight and squabble with each other but if anyone else dared to try and fight with one of them then the other 3 were always there. It does get easier as they get older so chin up

[Psychobabble123]

How is DSD taking the news OP?

[Mumof3cheeky]

Psychobabble, what is DSD?

[cakeymccakington]

Step daughter?
