to be a little worried about how things will go at my daughter's wedding......

Dd has decided that whilst she wants to get married she never wants to leave me. (Fair enough Grin) She isn't at all keen on the idea of her sister's leaving home either but accepts that's up to them. I have suggested that her husband move in with us but she doesn't seem to see the need for that so what we settled on last night is that we'll have the wedding and then I'll pick her up afterwards and bring her home.
She thinks this a great scheme. I am little concerned it will appear odd. AIBU?

She is 4 btw

DS (3) is going to be an alphabet doctor [sic] so he can look after giraffes and sharks in Africa. DH and I can go out there and visit him, if we like, and we can all have cake all the time. He is also going to be a daddy and have loads and loads of babies, but it is unclear with whom he intends to procreate.

My son, the vet/marine biologist/babyfather...

Edam - yes sure now she wants 5. I guess her wishes will be closer to your ds's when she's actually produced one Grin

Gemma - Kate will be well and truly put out when the Royal quads steal her thunfer. Your dd will be posting 'my sil's beahving like she's the QUEEN' in no time.

Mine's going to live in the house next door when our neighbour dies apparently. She hasn't shared this gem with him fortunately

Ds (5) does not seem to be considering himself. He is quite keen to get his little sister (3) married off though. First he thought he could marry her, then when I pointed out you don't really tend to marry your siblings he suggested daddy. I pointed out that I am married to daddy so he decided she could marry his best friend and his best friend's big brother so that they can all play together all of the time. There is already quite a lot of hugging and kissing between dd and the best friend so I think they will be ok with it. She seems quite fond of the brother too.

Well my DD (12) is going to be an equestrian vet, buy a farm and keep animals which will not be slaughtered but can be eaten when they die of natural causes.

She will install me to look after the animals, from my wheelchair, as I will not be able to walk by then.

Bring it on I say.

Nothernlurker - yep, I was confidently planning three but stopped at one. Grin

olgaga · 24/02/2012 21:31

I remember vividly the day my mum told me I would have a husband and family and my own home one day. It was just before my 4th birthday, and I ended up sobbing my heart out, inconsolable in Woolworths, in the small town where we lived. A kind lady stopped and asked if there was anything she could do, and mum said "Oh no, I only told her she would have her own home one day..."

The look on the woman's face was rather Angry and my mum was so embarrassed we got the bus home soon after.

Neither of us ever forgot that day!

I was going to marry my Grandad!

trinitybleu · 24/02/2012 21:58

DD (4) is going to marry her 2 best friends. I said that might make the 4 babies she is planning (2 sets of twins, one boy and one girl in each set) a bit difficult, so maybe choosing a boy would be easier? She thought for a couple of minutes and then said "I'd rather marry [the girls] and have difficult babies!"

I'll remind her of that when her own baby is screaming for 8 hours solid every bloody evening .... ;)

hurricanewyn · 24/02/2012 22:42

My DD, when asked says she will have 4 babies, starting when she is quite old. About 21/22 she reckons.
She will also get married before having babies - she told me she would get married in the morning and have the first baby that evening!
DS has decided that women are a complication he doesn't need. He's going to move to Africa and run some kind of private safari/conservation park that no one is allowed to see. Not quite sure how it'll work but he has some quite convoluted plans he likes to explain every now & then.

veryconfusedatthemoment · 24/02/2012 22:51

my ds (age 6) announced the other week that he is going to get married to a girl in his class and have 28 children. I just asked him to make sure that the girl was happy about that. She wasn't so is going to marry someone else now! I think also probably she was put off by the fact that he was going back to work and she would have to look after them all!!!!!

DS1 (4.5yo) is going to marry Sasha of the blue eyes, bl

HerRoyalNotness · 24/02/2012 23:16

DS1 (4.5yo) is going to marry Sasha of the blue eyes, blonde curly hair and Scandinavian tan. DS2 is going to be their son. On other days they will have 2 children, a boy called Akira (his best friend) and a girl called Arielle (another girl at preschool). I can't wait, they will be gorgeous!

ReindeerBollocks · 24/02/2012 23:25

DS can't wait until he turns 18 so he can move out and not tell me where he lives!

But on a good day, he is going to stay with me forever, and his wife can live me me.

DD is marrying daddy but is my best friend so we all win.

I'm a bit worried now - dd3 hasn't mentioned marying her dad. Does that mean she disapproves of my choice? Hmm

ds wants to marry me. i told him he cant as i'm married to daddy. He then said that he'd marry DD (not yet born) and I said that he can't do that either as you'e not allowed to marry your siblings. He wailed and said it wasn't fair. I've been suggesting some of the girls from school but apparently none of them match up to me...

lovebeinganana · 24/02/2012 23:47

Beware - my dd2 always said she would never leave. She is now 26 still lives with us with her ds and for a time so did her exP. She has now bought into the house so guess she's here forever.

Truthfully I love it!

When I was 4 I was going to marry Donny Osmond.
We would have lots of kids with lovely teeth and be tee total.

DD has plans to convert the attack here, and to put DH and I up there-but it's OK. Apparently, we are allowed down to cook her dinner and look after her children whilst she goes to work Hmm

WhereMyMilk · 25/02/2012 08:22

Attic not attack :o

Rowgtfc72 · 25/02/2012 08:24

Dp and I are getting married in May. Weve had lots of tears from dd who is 4 who first wanted to marry daddy and was then upset because I will be kissing daddy first on the day before her.The straw that broke the camels back is that she will have to stay with grumps and granny on our wedding night .That hasn't gone down well at all.

babybythesea · 25/02/2012 08:25

DD (age 3) is also going to marry me. I did point out I was married to Daddy but apparently that doesn't matter and you can 'marry to lots of people'. So we're taking the polygamy approach.
