Gator: Oddly enough, given our 4th wasn't planned and the average here is less than 3, Princess has started Prep School this year and in her class, we've met 3 families with 4 and one with 6. The mother of 6 is shhhhhhhhhhmokin' hot surprisingly enough...

Not surprising that she became pregnant 6 times.
Could have been much more.
A beautiful woman is pleasant to look at, but it is easier to live with a pleasant acting one.

I saw this thread in unread posts, and I thought "Oh No!  Pregnant again."

Congratulations for your anniversary!!! Say hello to the Slavic boss of the household.

Why is education such a large bill?    None are old enough to attend university.  Are you sending them to private school? 

In Australia do you say, as do the Brits, "public school" for what we  Yanks call "private school" (private in the sense there is no government support, admission is selective, and tuition even for the elementary grades can easily exceed that of a state university).

I that ever happens, she'll have some explaining to do - fixed that issue..

Just copped one of the usual "sprays" on the phone because the school bus is about to arrive to collect the kids, she can't find something and of course..... :rolleyes:

Non Gov't schools, other than Catholic schools are pretty expensive here - numbers thing I guess.

Don't even want to think about that yet.

Are you sending them to private school?
Yes, so long as I can afford it.

Here private means non Gov't - user pays although there are still some background Gov't subsidies to these schools. Not sure about the standard, it's good but it is the social / pastoral aspect that keeps drawing me to this option. By the time they are all done in todays dollars, about $450K..

Slightly separately, the oldest one is absolutely loving school (7th grade now) and the ancillary or co-curricular benefits. The middle age spread started to take hold so I started a little running (more like shuffling) late last year and he joined in - he has quickly developed from the easy beat to a very sound middle distance runner. 2nd in his 3000 metres cross country, qualified through to state independent schools finals, 2nd in 100 metres, 200 metres, 400 metres, 1500 metres and 3000 metres on the track also at school annual carnival - again through to state independent schools finals for the 800 metres. He's on top of the world and needless to say, Dad is as proud as..!! Never prouder than the carnival 800 where he came from nowhere to all but run the school champion down - the entire school was on it's collective feet yelling for him (probably a little unfair for the other Lad in a way). He lost the race by less than 1/2 a second but having done a bit myself in the younger days, I'd rate it as one of the best kids 800's I've ever seen.

Academically he has always been middling but is now starting to come out of his shell also and turn in some very solid grades so all around has set himself up for a nice few years through high school.

Enough boasting.... :-[

Congratulations.  It appears your family is doing well.  You are the example others really should emulate! :-*

plenty of breakfast time arguments..


The secret to a happy marriage is to say "Yes Dear!" every time she speaks. Improving your cooking can help too. Grats on your 9th anniversary.
Fund the audits, spread the word and educate people, write your politicians and other elected officials. Stay active in the fight to save our country. Over 220 generals and admirals say we are in a fight for our survival like no other time since 1776.

Bill and the few others who remember us, a few recent snaps. The oldest one dominated his age group in school athletics this year and the others are healthy as can be.

Anna still scrubs up ok after 10 years of putting up with me and 4 kids.

For what it's worth, it hasn't been the easiest thing for us to hold together but everything has it's ups and downs. We've been through a bit but we've survived thus far and hopefully will continue to do so...
