Oh OP, at least be consistent if you are going to make shit up. No mention of your 11 year old twins on this thread.

There isn't enough time in the world for those fictional activities.

God with that many activities how do you have time to breed so much??

Linus plays piano
Dave is PM
and The Doctor is a mad man in a blue box - which keeps him busy

Isn't it Schroeder who plays the piano. Can you not get your DC's names right, ghosty? Wink

Eldest DD likes to play with radioactive sources in the garden after school most days and youngest DD spends all her time planning where eldest DD is going to drop nuclear bombs.

Obviously I have 2 child geniuses psychopaths

No after school activities here. Far too much homework. How do you get all of them to their individual activities. My head would explode and I'd have to clone myself a few times!

Binkybix · 13/07/2015 21:48

Mine trains ladybirds and spiders.

Sgtmajormummy · 13/07/2015 21:56

OP what about teaching them "High on a Hill Lived a Lonely Goatherd"? You might make a few quid...

Fizrim · 13/07/2015 22:13

All those activities have aged your oldest children 2 years in less than a week - time to stop, I think!

DD (9) does Brownies, violin and choir. She also does LAMDA as an extra curricular activity at school.

That's enough IMHO.

DS (nearly 3) is clearly deprived as he doesn't do any. Poor little boy

manicinsomniac · 13/07/2015 22:53

Mine do most of their stuff (piano and singing lessons, choir, drama club, tennis, swimming etc) in school as we have extended hours and specialist facilities.

Out of school DDs 1 and 2 (ages 12 and 8) do hours and hours of Dance (Ballet, Tap, Modern Jazz, Street etc) and Gymnastics.

There's no time for anything else.

DD3 (1) does whatever her nursery does with her - though I'm sorely tempted to start her at baby ballet now she's steady on her feet! Grin I'll give it another year though.

justalittlelemondrizzle · 14/07/2015 00:18

You sound very busy. Don't know how you manage it all.
Dd1 does musical theatre, brownies and swimming
Dd2 does rainbows and swimming.
They both do an after school sports club one day a week aswell.

My Aelfred does laughing yoga and blindfolded stick fighting on Monday. Graffiti class on Wednesday, vegan cheese making on Friday and mastering cuneiform on Saturday.

What are tour kids? Military children?

YorkGirl2015 · 14/07/2015 01:04

Can I send my 15 yr old dd to your house for a week op? The way your oldest 2 have miraculously aged from 11 to 13 in a matter of days, by my reckoning after a week with you dd will at least 18 & I'll have happily skipped the rest of the teenage tantrum years

Dd( Chardonnay- priscilla- Lavinia smith- Jones age 3 and 24 weeks) conducts the philharmonic orchestra in-between her hobby level parts like the white swan in royal ballet performances, flying lessons, xc skiing and her role as scientific research executive for Cambridge uni. And of course pretty tied up with Wimbledon right now, what with it coming so soon after badminton horse trials. And of course she is simply ecstatic about the 12hrs per day tutoring we've started in the last year for the 11+
Still once she's a bit older she should be able to take on a few more activities.
