Happy day!

One of the greatest gifts my parents gave me was four siblings to play with.

To be honest, despite Boes apparent telepathic abilities, we were slightly (understatement of the year) taken aback as we weren't actually intending a 4th but - once we got our heads around it all, one thing we have both noticed is that we've rarely if ever seen a big family which was an unhappy family.
 
That said, I'm not looking forward to $40 odd K in school fees for a few years later on when they all cross over together lol.......

I assumed your long absence from the forum, even for a man with three babies, meant you were spending your evenings in a rather more appealing way.  :) :)

I have known a few with five or more.   You are correct.  Congratulations.  Still working towards a full numbered cricket team?  :)

That's the irony, I've only been home a handful of nights the last 3 months as I have been working on another project away from home. I did mention that if it turns up the wrong colour, I'm leaving, her response was classically Russian - "mothers know they are the mothers, fathers can only hope"..... :crackwhip:

I grew up in a family of 7 children living in abject poverty. 
There was nothing to share. 
No good relationship between the siblings then or now.
Can't say I would recommend it.

ML, that's dreadful. It does not seem normal based on my experiences.


Both of my parents were dirt poor farmer kids. Both had many siblings (6 kids and 10 kids).  All kids were very close over their entire lives.  Their primary source of joy in their young lives was each other.

Maybe there was some other factor in your young life, but that would be unwarranted prying on my part.

that is sad indeed , i was one of 4 children ,
we shared &enjoyed everything together , we where not wealthy as kids , but we had enough , we all  still remain very close to each other,

my 5 including my stepchild  are the same ,
you reap what you sow as parents & individuals in this life , simple as that imho

I/O posts  & pics , advise us all he is a good man and caring husband / father

That is very sad. I grew up in a family of 14 children and had to rely of food stamps and hand-me downs. I wouldn't give up those memories for anything. I still have a great relationship with all of my siblings.
