To ask posters to put the age of their child in the OP?

[itsbetterthanabox]

It's usually important and ends up being the first question everyone asks.
Ages posters!

Only if they remember that DS2 is your second son (regardless of age), whereas DD (2) is your two year old daughter who might be your first, second or umpteenth child.

Unless of course they want to provoke nugatory responses.

and how old are YOUR children then OP? tsk tsk!

can i just state now, for the record, that my child is 31 years old, and will be 32 in june. please remember that in case i ever start another thread on mumsnet. which is unlikely but you never know.
