Guest guest Posted April 23, 2001 Report Share Posted April 23, 2001 When people asked me that question, or the inevitable 'What are you hoping for', I used to reply, 'A white rabbit. Far less trouble than children and you can have it put to sleep and get another one when you're fed or bored up of it.'

Guest guest Posted April 23, 2001 Report Share Posted April 23, 2001 Whilst I was pregnant people inevitably used to ask 'Do you know what it is?' to which we replied 'A baby' ---- Oh i say..... " a boy " and then they say, " oh don't you want a girl this time, as you already have three boys " my reply of " no I've lost five girls, usually gets them all embarrassed and scuttling away at high speed. I'm horrid aren't I. tee hee:-) Tupman Mum to Matt 13, 10, Jonty 21 months & Phil 36 NCT Houseswap Register Coordinator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was even worse with my 5th when I kept getting told it would be nice to have a little brother for my son, well as there would be 13.5 yrs between them they would hardly be playmates would they.
