    Yes, when my 3 year old had a tantrum while walking him home. He was biting, kicking, pulling my hair/nose, etc. Never done that before, so could have happily put him on ebay. :D

  • Yup two sets twins later, ive learnt the hard way. My years of it all has just begun.

    But i wouldnt be without them:D
    mum to; Two Boys (Non id twins)
    Two Girls (Id twins)

  • I think it's only natural to feel that way. I certainly do about my 4 sometimes.

    They cost a blooming fortune, appreciate nothing, and drive me absolutely insane!!! But who said life was supposed to be easy? Plus I am hoping that they will look after me when they are rich and I am old.
    now mum of 4!!!

    It takes a very brave parent indeed to say they made a mistake and shouldn't have had kids but Im sure some must think it.

    I do when trying to book a rip-off holiday in August and remember all those off season adventures my wife and did before kids. Otherwise I guess I will keep em ;).

    I do wish I had been able to start a family younger like early 20's. I know it can be a lot harder then, at my age I have the luxury of no real worries. Its just in my 20's I had so much energy and enthusiasm the kids would have benefited from.

    I don't have any kids myself, and it is adverts like this one that make me relatively happy of the fact - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fitxofd7kOA :D
