I think at that stage its an easy decision to stop at 2. I'm sure if we'd had 2 boys or 2 girls the temptation would be there for a third. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapal_fan Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 I'd have loads of kids, if I could afford them! I've got 2 boys, 5 years and a 10 month old. Both pretty laid back, but the 5 year old is stubborn - but annoyingly smart.. And that's not a brag, it's annoying as hell We'd love another, but 600 a month for nursery 3 days a week and 200 a month for before and after school club. It makes me wish I could put the mortgage on hold! But yea, kids are fun - challenging (!) - but fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't change them for the world mind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yea, kids are fun - challenging (!) - but fun Our eldest is very much like this and I think the smartness is very much linked to the stubbornness. She is very strong minded and if she thinks she's right (which she is most the time) then there's nothing you can say or do that will make her think otherwise. I get why you had to say about it being a brag because I think people think I'm bragging when I say she's smart. She's the youngest in her year at school, and that 8/9 months less development than some kids can make a large difference. But she's in advanced groups for reading and maths. I have no idea where she gets it from because it's not me and it certainly isn't the Mrs!! I think the milkman must've been a really clever bloke. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post villa4europe Posted April 30, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 30, 2020 My wife went to the Dr's yesterday for a check up, complained of a bit of kidney pain... Baby girl born this morning! She's early and tiny but Dr's say she's OK, the wife is still being treated for the kidney so hasn't seen her yet! Corona means I can see the baby but can't visit my wife again until she changes to a different ward in a couple of days time, it's also a new build hospital which opened yesterday so has no phone signal or WiFi which last night was an absolute killer and probably won't get better as I sit home alone Home kit is in the basket 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post hogso Posted May 17, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 17, 2020 Decided a kid was a good idea at the start of the year, hindsight and all that...ah well, we're due 20/11/20, 12 week scan on Thursday was all good, although I couldn't attend. Apparently baby has very long legs at the moment, which is weird, as I'm a right short arse Baby hogso will be raised on a steady diet of Japanese computer games, noise music, and maybe Villa, not sure yet. Seems a bit cruel, like those who force religion on to their sprogs. At the very least, though, I'm sure both first time nannies will be down to Villa Village for assorted clothing, as they're both Villa... 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Rob182 Posted May 24, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 24, 2020 (edited) I’m not really sure where to post this, but this thread seems appropriate-ish. Me and my brother-in-law have started a Kids YouTube Channel. Him on animations and art, and me on the music side. Here’s a couple of links for any VTers interested: Likes, subscribes and shares to any other people or groups would be greatly appreciated. (Also, on topic, my second baby is on the way, due at the start of September) Edit: On second thoughts, I’ll put this in a thread of its own.

Popular Post villa4europe Posted June 10, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 10, 2020 (edited) 6 weeks later... My daughter is finally home! Weighing in at 1890g (just under 4.2lbs) I wouldn't recommended it the hospital starts off not that bad, the room is stuffy, warm with no air flow for obvious reasons which really **** you up, the wife was saying she's there doing nothing for 8 hours a day and I had so much sympathy for her, it's crazy hard, we thought we would row under stress but we were OK, a bit of bickering but accepting what it was all about, what we did do towards the end is become very nasty, if the nurses breathed in a way we didn't like she was a word removed, you get the old fuddy duddy on your rotation and she's a word removing word removed, it went from talk of what present we can get to say thanks to **** the lot of em cos when we went in to see her she had been sick and no one had spotted it, the other kids were getting preferential treatment* so they were words removed and so were their parents... It became really angry but at least we angled it away from each other And now I have the terror at here with me Its mad how like the rule was the feeding tube can come out when she hits 1500g, so we wait nearly 5 weeks to get there, then 3 days later the mom of the other baby in room asks if hers can come out... Shes 2 weeks younger... She weighs 1480g...they say yes... You **** what mate! Preferential!! **** little word removed... I'm sat there literally seething at a 4 week old baby "I'm going home **** this place" The frustration plays with your head, there were times where I was so angry and my wife was worse!

I'm reminded of my time in hospital when my son was born. It was around 6am and I'd dosed off in the waiting room and this huge Bulgarian nurse came and started shouting at me. I didn't know what the hell was going on but I woke up to this loud word removed of women asking what I was doing. After explaining that I was clearly waiting for my son to be born and I've paid €1000 for the privilege she huffed off. I told the head nurse that this woman was to come nowhere near my missus, baby or me for 3 days or I'd write a letter to the general manager and hospital group manager. Everytime I saw her again she'd scurry away into another room. Bulgarians are weird but this woman was mental. Every time I think about I get angry.
