The joy of parenthood...

It's a myth!

PP and Carl correct....................again...

around FQ its a free meal ticket.

 

Reading that article just put me off having children.

How else can I own a 599 GTO if I have 3 kids?

What a cruel world. Can have one, but not the other.

 

In my area so bitter.

 

if all you're going to think of is money then yes I agree, but there is the intangible satisfaction of having a son who shares your interests and delights you with their growth into a decent human being ..... bugger the 355CH it cost me

the psychologist is just a failed psychiatrist so who would listen to him

he's just trying to justify his next grant from the taxpayer

 

dont bring me into it..............I love my kids and I dont want a 355CH anyway............PP said I could drive his anytime I wanted!

 

My wife is about to kick your ass

 

yes please

and I didn't go to a private school

 

Lol.

Those who can afford a new Ferrari (or a fleet of them) and still have a beautiful family/kids is truely blessed IMO.

Im far from it, but trying my best.

 

FFS

 

Whoops, fixed for you.

 

looks like the article was right.

 

If only I could stream live audio to the forum.

My kid hasn't stopped crying for 45 mins, it's 10.54 and I have to be up at 4.40am. Mrs has the ****s as well.

Children suck!

 

Lol lol lol.

The pros far out-weigh the cons thought right?

Good luck with the sick bubba!

I am looking forward to all the late nights and early mornings.

 

you give the keys to the Mrs, hand her the kid and tell her to take the kid for a drive ......... to Perth !!!

Do I have to do the thinking for all you guys ??!!

My kids were all brilliant, slept through the night once the 2 hour feeds were over

As a matter of fact I use to have to use a mirror to make sure the little buggers were still breathing !!

 

no , and no

written by some loser with no kids justifying his decision, like I said, failed psychiatrist

 

Fleet ownership and kids?

Not mutually exclusive events. And he's kept me up since 4:00 am.

But I'm really glad I stayed in school...

Standard human nature.

The harder you work for something the more you value it.
Thats why farmers can't make themselves sell poor farms that condemn them to back breaking work and create financial misery for the whole family. Yet the same guy can lose the money from a chance win with a cheery "easy come easy go".

 

Life is good Judge!!

 

hand him in and ask for the good version

they have them but you have to explicitly ask

 

Whats the tearup like on that model?

 

There have been a couple of times when giving rides to kids they've said "Gee I wish my parents had one of these" and I always reply "well they could have, but they chose you instead..."

 

tear up on all kids is horrendous but the non-crying one tempts idiots to try for more and then the pain sets in and you can't hand them back

I've had 3 non-crying kids, luck was running in my favour so I stopped before the inevitable happened.

I know of one guy with 14 girls because he kept trying for a boy, he should have just quit while he was behind

 

Whoa!!

Brothers sister-in law has 3 boys. 7, 5 and 2 yrs old. Determined to have a girl, she was going to keep trying until she had one.

And...............she finally has one. Well, due next month. She is VERY VERY happy. I dont think Dad is though, he has to work for another 40 yrs underground to pay for all those kids.

 

you still in Brissy ?

I'm up there tomorrow, might catch up for lunch
