u can also have her 2yr old sister, who likes to pretend she is a dj. she keeps breaking into dh record collection and trying to mix.

DS (5) quite likes Jungle... Would that do?

fostermum · 22/01/2005 18:14

as long as it's loud,im all for it,though they must have the grunt for speech,allergie to washing and eat anything that stands still for to long

dd2 will just yell gobbligook at you, with a few words thron in (choclate, crisps etc). dd1 will eat all day.

fostermum · 22/01/2005 18:18

ah, but will i be able to retrieve them from the police station in the middle on the night and have to grovel to headmasters to stop them being expelled?

OP posts:
misdee · 22/01/2005 18:21

quite likely with dd2. she can escape from anyone, and considering she looks older, u could put her into a school and they may want to expel her

fostermum · 22/01/2005 18:24

somehow dont think it would be the same,give me a drunken,stoned,expelled,smelly,skater and i feel im earning my keep{grin]

fostermum · 22/01/2005 18:26

ya they feel at home here,i dont think i would know what to do with a quite well behaved child

OP posts:
misdee · 22/01/2005 18:27

they'd be skinning upin your living room tho, and disappear on all nighters to raves. ages between 20-30

fostermum · 22/01/2005 18:28

OP posts:
misdee · 22/01/2005 18:30

fostermum · 22/01/2005 18:31

yes you are a nutter - take mine immediatley if not sooner - he fits the criterea of drunken, stoned, smelly - but no headmaster grovelling so far (sorry) not a skater either - a BMXer hope that will do - and take my pre pubesent daughter too- my doors hinges cant take the slamming - and her frequent sulking looks like she slams the door in her face quite frequently.

fostermum · 23/01/2005 07:05

love it custardo,send them right now lol

You can have my two fostermum - I'll pay the travelling expenses, but you'll have to foot the food bill, oh and the phone bill...........

fostermum · 23/01/2005 17:15

ok thats fair enough too,but theres a mobile ban on the home phone so they cant ring mates hehehehe

OP posts:
Potty1 · 23/01/2005 17:36

We've got a mobile number ban too fostermum - shame I didn't think to do it before the £500 (I kid you not!!) phone bill. Aaaaaarrrggghhhhhh!

fostermum · 24/01/2005 06:31

i do hope your docking a little of there pocket money to help towards the bill each week,month.this is the reason or ban was put on too!

OP posts:
Potty1 · 24/01/2005 09:09

Oh yes fostermum - paper-round money was dutifully handed over on a weekly basis. I have a dd just getting towards teenagerness too so things won't be improving in the near future....just hoping she's learnt from some of her brothers' mistakes.

fostermum · 24/01/2005 14:48

no she wont have learnt the mistakes just the excuses and ways out of getting caughtbut there again you will know them too
