Tis old and fell on this, this morning.......funny really I was looking up on how to crochet flowers ;D

[Eclair]

"injuries sustained in the lady garden"

His turn of phrase does make me laugh.... ;D

Thanks Lew!

[lew]

Funny really I'm sure there are many a horror story I have three to prove it ;D I must admit I never liked mine.....loved them, yes, until they were about 6months old, then they got interesting though by 16 years old sadly the days of corruption or telling them where to go are over

[lymaze]

I think it's about time May reproduced. It's a pity to think that hair won't be passed on to the next generation. ;D

[Eclair]

*laughs uncontrollably*

_{Fortunately my lady garden has not sustained injuries of that child bearing nature and I am able to do this}

[lymaze]

Also laughs smugly. ;D

[lindenchase]

Ladygarden is a much nicer word than girl thingy. ;D

[maureen]

I've already read the first three paragraphs and am feeling the motherly instincts coming out. Yes, I will agree that once kids get to be five, they're alot easier to deal with and fun to be around. However, because I am a mother, you have to survive the first five years to get to that point. It takes alot of patience (something I had to really learn hard), understanding, consistancy, (before they start talking) guessing, and love. Most important of these is love.

Men don't talk to men about their feelings. That's why God made women. For men to share their feelings with. OMG, NO! My parents had a Discovery.

[Puss]

Reading that has put me off having kids. Ever... Even May's.

[ladyshaniique08]

Oooo.
That just put me off having kiddies too.
I would just adopt a kid than giving birth to one.

[Deleted]

LOL well, I have been informed of the damage I caused so *crosses legs tightly*
I don't know because I'm challenged with little monsters 3, 4 years (where they have become far more sophisticated) and I tend to see them at their worst.

I have seen some baby signing which is incredible.

[Wyvern]

I think I'd like babies a bit more if they didn't smell. I mean, I like clean baby smell, but they don't stay that way for long!

[Deleted]

The vomiting and pooping........I suppose you just get used to it, like with cats. And the sharp scratchy nails......cats and babies.

I'll stick with my cat ;d

[dutchdiva]

For a minute there I thought that James was going to be a daddy looking at that title.

So does James write another column for the Australian magazine or is it just one that is also in the UK version?

[nobody]

I all ways had May down as the naughty uncle who would get a kid high on sweets then send them back home.
And i was soooooooo right. ;D

[ulstermayniac]

James does have a unique turn of phrase, it does make me laugh, but I have always thought that the actual phrase, lady garden, was a bit gross.

This bit made me laugh the days when the child slept in an empty drawer in the sideboard

It's an old one, probably when he was saying something about cars should be fun to drive and not just containers on wheels full of brightly coloured plastic and Mothercare things etc etc continue in James style rant and breathe.

[ulstermayniac]

Dutch, I think James would be a fabulous father. He has all the qualities that I think any child would be blessed to inherit.

[nobody]

Who here would have liked a uncle like James when growing up to take you off for the day. ;D
Hell he can take me now if he likes.

[ulstermayniac]

Totally!!

And me ;D

[Deleted]

I think an uncle like James would definitely be an improvement to the several 'Uncle Knobheads' I've got although I imagine my Grandfather (the one who drank the health of a duckling) would have been good fun.

And that, I believe, is the quote of the day!

Any other thoughts I may have on the subject have been censored...

[ulstermayniac]

Well, we have them about Jeremy, don't we? I know I do. In fact, I am having a naughty thought about Jeremy now.

[Wyvern]

These days I find I'm having increasingly naughty thoughts about all of them. I think I must be getting old and hormonal. Must be getting to that funny age or something... ;D

[Eclair]

I agree Wy. I meant I'm with you Wy! But you forgot about Mr Wilman. But I will keep him and my naughty thoughts to myself...*clutches Mr Wilman to bosom*


EDIT: You did say all of them.

*goes back to school to learn to read*

[ulstermayniac]

See, we don't want to upset you, we know Andy is yours. Although I will admit, I think that he has got better looking as he has got older. Jeremy was always gorgeous though and always will be

I just notice how that sounds.
Never mind the quote still stands ;D

I would like to stop - trying to work and study is very hard because of these thoughts ;D

What was the article about? Oh thats right - no I dont want my own kids - LOVE other peoples but that article is just another reason not to have them...........haha

[maureen]

One of the reasons I've managed to put off having more than one kid and won't be procreating again, now that I'm getting to that fun age.
