my standard response is normally "A lot of wine and a good sense of humour!".., but last night it was a serious question, and they looked at me slightly when I responded like that this time.
It was the scout committee meeting (I have been roped in, on top of having to be on the parents committee with dancing too......me thinks I have 'mug' written on my head), and I was a little , now what do I say......
thing is, I just do. the question was posed to two parents of 'onlies', and so I guess for them he thought of five is a small nightmare, but even so........telling them I just do also did not seem to be the right response either. (they did another face.....probably assuming that I was lying, or at best faking it!).
what do you say???
Find out all about large family cars, holidays and more right here.
Larger families
how do you respond when people look at you in horror at the amount of children you have, and than ask "how the HELL do you cope??"
