Default More Little TBYRNEs Coming Soon...

I have a daughter that turned 7 on 12/31. She is enough for me but my wife has been wanting another one. I thought she was kind of We really don't have time for one, never mind two. Well... later this year there will be an additional two kids going . Add me to the list. I'll be too.

I guess Julie won't be going to the track much now. I should have spent more time workng or watching TV...

I'm not sure whether to congratulate you on a job well done, or offer my most sincere condolences.... Your choice

Thanks guys! The jury is still out on if I should be getting congratulations or condolences. My daughter is at the age where she can entertain herself, dress herself, feed herself and is her own person. Now it will be going back to the crying (I hate the crying), feeding, burping and pushing a stroller. Worst part is getting a babysitter so we can go out once in awhile. It's kind of hard for one. I can't see anyone wanting to watch 3. Especially 2 little ones. Maybe this is all a dream. Yeah, that's it!

My my... twins. Congrats!

I have a 4 month old son, it's pretty neat but until they can crawl it appears that they are pretty high maintenance.

You guys mention cheap (free) labor. Julie said the same thing this morning. Most kids already know how to use the computer by the time they are 3 or 4. Teach them how to answer phones and maybe give a little tech advise once in awhile. We'll be all set! I'm still blown away by this through.

Day care is going to be the killer. I think it was about $175. per week for my daughter when she was younger. So now we'll be looking at about $350.-$400. It might actually be more benefical to get a nanny. For that price or maybe $100. more she can take care of the kids, house, shopping and we'll have a babysitter at night if we want to go out. The hard part is finding one that is good (really good). She'll need to be trusted with the kids and things in the house.

I would have kept my Suburban if I knew this was going to happen. The chair that John's son is sitting in looks comfortable. I want one of those for myself!

Congrats Tom!

FWIW, my oldest was born on Oct 16 1984 & my youngest on Jan 26 1994.

That's a huge age difference eh!
