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!!!!!

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.

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

I'm joking really.

(No I'm not)

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 · 05/09/2008 18:46

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

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 · 05/09/2008 19:35

I think now!!

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

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

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 · 05/09/2008 20:33
