"Ooooo - aren't they lovely?!"
"Boys or girls?" (and this in spite of the girls clearly being pretty in pink from head to toe)
"Oh - can I have them?"
"How do you cope?"

Yeah we attract a certain amount of attention, but it's nice putting a smile on people's faces. Our twins are non-indentical; we got a boy and a girl. Lovely. We also get a lot of "OMG twins- that must be hell!" comments, but I know quite few couples with just the one child who have it much harder than us.

Just in case you are inclined to attempt the removal of any excess mucous by sucking it out (not very pleasant, trust me), Boots now sell a specially designed sucker with a sort of bendy straw on the end for just this purpose... (but then, I'm sure you already knew that!)

We've had one for ages, it's in the shape of a bird- not that either twin found that comforting. I call it the "snot penguin". Our twins are old enough for us to use anti-congestant drops now though.

I have a daughter just 6 months old. I wouldn't change her for the world. She is extremely precious to us after losing our first child and herself being born very premature (1 lb 11oz). She's great, always in a happy mood. If I trusted you guys I'd post up a picture of her with my GHIII controller around her... but alas I don't. :lol:

She loves watching the note charts on Rockband and GH.

It's all a moot point though as I doubt it'll ever happen.

Same apart from the only child stuff

Yeh defintley, at some point! I'll consider it when I can look after myself properly before looking after another human being.

I'm a Dad in every way except her blood.

Anyone can be a father, doesnt mean you can be a parent.

I've never heard it put so well. Anyone can be a father, but it takes someone special to be a dad.

Really? I never knew.

I suppose that's the one thing lacking from your history - the post telling everyone you're smoking a big cigar, for you've successfully launched some spunk into her egg, and now it's made a wee human. Now naturally making sense in its absence.

I hardly know you, but I'm sure you'll make a good dad. If a little sarcastic. And shallow.

First by 26ish. 5 minimum.

strawberry floating hell dude, she'll be like two slabs of gammon sticky-taped together by the time you're through with her!

I don't want kids and my parents are great. I don't see why everyone has to have kids especially when the planet can only just about provide for the 6+ billion of us who live on it at present.

Definitely.

When I'm settled though. And I need to find a woman first.

Kids? Got them? Want them?

Kids? Love em? Hate em? Got em?
