DH and I have eight children in total. (We are so knackered that we couldn't be bothered to name the youngest one, we just call her The Bairn . It doesn't seem to bother her much though she does still have trouble with her personal pronouns.)
Anyway, our four eldest DCs, two boys and two girls, have been earning a wage for over 60 years now, but still show no signs of wanting to leave home. I wouldn't mind if they were more use around the place, but they're really impulsive and daft - they're always rushing round to their grandpa's because they've misheard someone saying he's flaying giraffes and it turns out he's playing draughts or something similar. They're always getting in a mess over some silly misunderstanding. (You can imagine the consternation when I announced that I wanted to tune up my old banjo ).
The only good thing is that our tenement house must have appreciated considerably over all this time, so if DH and I could just get these kids off our hands we could sell up and move to Marbella.
So, AIBU to be black affronted?
