    This is all just too too scary, I'm 28 and the thought of a kid frightens me quite badly! So much so, I'm off to clean my bathroom tiles! :o

    OH is the same.. the baby should arrive maybe a week or 2 after he is 29 and he is crapping square blue bricks!! lol

    I think they should prosecute the parents for negligence!!! They either knowingly allowed their daughters to have sex or did not properly supervise them allowing it to happen.. That did NOT go down well when I said it to the mum of the youngest girl in this country to have a baby.. she was 11 and 3 months when her daughter was born.. the dad was 14. The mother had allowed them to sleep together in her house because 'at least she knew where they were' I said she should have been more concerned about what they were doing than where they were given the situation she allowed her daughter to get into.. I also found a lot of the time it was the mothers who WANTED the daughters to have a baby so they could have a new toy.. Totally irresponsible parenting.

    I also know someone who was a grandmother at 27!

    Got to agree with you there pigpen I have 2 girls 14 and 10 but I know were they are at all times;)


    Oops no flying done of to grab list

    Evening, it has been beautiful all day here, hope its lovely where you guys all are:A

    Neveah:eek::eek::eek: So by my rough calculations she was 10 when she conceived. That is so wrong on so many levels:eek: Only 3 and 1/2 years older than my DD.

    Have cleaned the bathroom, but need to do the floor. Have had quite a lazy day as i still feel pretty under the weather. Whatever this virus is at has really knocked me for 6. I lost my voice all of saturday and sunday:rotfl: Hubby was pleased.

    Dusty - i have a Tefal and it seems ok, have had it for about 7 years and it still works well. Not too heavy either which is nice. And it is your job to embarress your kids, it is a little light relief for us parents:cool:
