The wonderful thing about other families children, is giving them back.

For two whole days, i have had

One 6 week old

One 16 week old

One 19 month old

One 4 year old

One 9 yr old

One gobby 12 year old



After two days , i have just returned after driving the whole lot home and handing them back to their mother. I have to say, i have never been so tired in all my life and so relieved when i turned into their road after the long journey with my eye-lids propped open with match sticks.

Roll on Tuesday when they all come back again for 4 days.o

You're mad was my initial thought, then wow, how brave you must be. :wah:

Not sure how you manage all that Oscar I am done in with a 2 and a half year old! After 5 hours I am ready for a nap! Well done you :-6

By the way that is one lovely picture. :-4

To be fair, the gobby 12 yr old is very good with the babies and i have Mr O who told me that last night was the worst nights sleep he has ever had in his life :wah:

My sis is having a really hard time at the moment so they all came to me. They are all back tuesday as well. I think i will just go to sleep until then :wah:

Yes, he pukes in Oscar's mouth:yh_rotfl

I had a 1 year old and a 3 year old 4 days. It wore me out! I feel for you.

Our kidlets are grown up thank god :wah: These are all my sis's kids except for the 6 week old baby who as you know is her new grandson. I'll try to get some pics of the horrors loaded up. Pete video'd them all yesterday which was cute. :-4

You get to my age and just forget how tough it is. How Sis copes and how she keeps her house so clean is beyond me. My 3 dogs hate me now as i've had them shut in the yard. The cats are terrified and refusing to come in the house :yh_rotfl

Note.... I will never hold small babies over my head ever again :wah:

I am the oldest of six siblings. As a teen-ager, I babysat for other families. Then, as a young woman, I worked as a teachers-aide and in the child care profession. I got married and raised my own children. Now, I'm a grandma, but my grandchildren live in North Dakota........and I live in Georgia. So that's that.

The last several years of my life, I have not been around young children much. I do miss the experience to a certain extent. I know it can get crazy at times, but there is nothing like holding a little hand, hearing that mischevous laughter, using a"magic" kiss on a small injury, singing silly songs...all that. I do admit that I don't have the energy that I used to have..........but still. Sometimes, I just miss the presence of small children in my life.
