Jpegg told a story about his son, and I just had to tell you some things about kids. Being the father of 4 rascals I feel I have some experience in kids and I guess I could share some real life stories with you younger people who either don't have kids or have just got kids. I hope I wont scare you too much. For those of you who allready have kids, share a story too or just nod in agreement to what I have to say about mine
I thought I was smart when I got my kids fairly close to each other in age. I was thinking it would be good to get them now, so that when I'm old and grey(er) they can take care of their old man and I could sit back and enjoy their little families grow. This however wasnt really a good plan.
First of all, if you know how a well done diaper smells, you would agree that having to change them for about ten years in a row like I have is just bad planning. Not only have I dumped thousands upon thousands of dollars into diapers over the years, I've developed a strange sence of smell and feel most things just smell like.... shit?
Another bad thing about having 4 kids close in years is that they tend to gang up on you. You know when I say Bedtime! at night I get smacked. Since they are fairly short you can guess where they hit.... (aow!)
Another thing. Have you tried to get 4 kids to decide wich video they are going to see? I wish I had a discount at the local electronics department. TV's are expensive....
If you have a hard time coming to work in time during the winter, try it with 4 kids :p Tip is to start early.... Way early
