I sat for ages writing something out then I got booted.

But here is a nice song for you.

No Charge

Our little boy came up to his mama in the kitchen this evening
While she was fixing supper
And he handed her a piece of paper he'd been writin' on
And after wipin' her hands on her apron she read it and this is what it said

For mowing the yard 5 dollars
For making my own bed this week 1 dollar
For going to the store 50 cents
For playing with my little brother while you went shopping 25 cents
For taking out the trash 1 dollar
For getting a good report card 5 dollars
And for raking the yard 2 dollars
Total amount owed 14 dollars and 75 cents

Well as mama looked at him standing there expectantly
And I could see the memories flashing through her mind
And so she picked up the pen and turning the paper over
This is what she wrote and I read it to him

For the nine months she carried you growing inside her, no charge
For the nights we sat up with you, doctoring you, praying for you, no charge
For the time and the tears that you've caused through the years there's no charge
When you added all up the full cost of our love is no charge

For the nights filled with dread and the worries ahead, no charge
For advice and for knowledge and the cost of your college, no charge
For the toys food and clothes and for wiping your nose there's no charge
When you added all up the full cost of our love is no charge

Well when I finished readin' he had big tears in his eyes
And he looked up at his mother and he said mama I sure do love you
Then he took the pen and in great big letter he wrote Paid In Full
When you added all up the full cost of our love is no charge

There comes a day when your son towers over you pats you on the head and you think "How the Heck did I produce him?"..
You keep tripping over size 11 shoes in the hall , but Dad is only size 8 !
Your house reeks of Linx on a Friday night .... I could go on ... LOL xxx

Lin,
my nephew asked me if there were still dinosaurs about when I was little - I was only 30!!!

They ask you

"What was it like in the olden days ?"

lol

You never, ever stop worrying about them!! The older they get, the more you worry

They can make going to bed slowly an art form.

They grow up too quickly

Deanna, that's a classic!

They are able to hear things that you don't want/think they are listening to but don't listen when you are talking to them.

Not all of them Kitty.

But my second daughter once told her gran... my MIL, while sitting cuddling on her knee....

"Gran .... mummy told daddy that you are a silly interfering old cow."

I was there, and was I red faced!!

Anyway... she was!!

They tell everyone your family secrets.

xx

Jax, thanks for saying that.

I thought that I was the only mother told off for bringing them up with morals!!!

You should have taught us to go out and................. fill it in yourselves.

my third child, a boy.

He loved people and loved making them laugh...still does.

BUT.... he used to come out with SUCH horrific statements in front of people.
followed by things like "but mum you said...!! ;-0(

AND YOU ARE NOT PERMITTED TO KILL EM!

They cost a fortune...

When they eventually move it is either uni digs or small and rented and they never ever take all their belongings. When I moved 12 years ago I had to pack up all their things a lot of which are still in my loft! They say frequently we will look at it next time we visit - but never have enough time!

You will spend years loading the car full just for a simple day out cos you have to take extra clothes, food, drinks, potty/nappies changing mats, pram etc is easier not to go out

Be prepared for surprises that embarras you muchly!
ie:When Charlotte was 1 1/2 years, we were flying back from Malta on a fairly small plane, we were at the front. She was stood on her seat looking down the plane and cooing at the other passengers when much to my horror..............



BOLLOCKS.............



emited very, very loudly from her "butter wouldn't melt" little cherubic mouth---you know when you just want the groung to open up and swallow you?

I'll get her back on her wedding day!!! :o/

you will spend most of you time cleaning after them

and your house will still look a tip

please excuse my language

for the first few years they are like limpets and you cant move for them.
Then you become an embarrassment to them and they will only be seen 10 paces ahead or 10 behind

They make you cry in front of total strangers at school plays etc

and you have to walk out in public with snot and tears all over ya face

They like very loud music....
Very loud TV and think that our era of music is ...."derrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr" I think was the answer I got last time we had the conversation!! ;o)

Just think about your all wonderful good points - well they will never inherit those, they seem to just inherit your bad points.
AND REMEMBER they have two parents, so whatever your bad points are - DOUBLE THEM!!
