Kids Growing Up

Their needs need addressing, In the morning when they're dressing, Brush their hair, clean their teeth, Whenever will I get relief, When they're older it'll be a blessing.

G'day John... good luck mate. The kids will never catch up to you but they'll keep trying to drag you back to them. Experience tells me this. Catch you soon - Lindsay

It gets a little easier with the older ones...mine range from 17 down to 5....but they are different and much more expensive

Yes Tim, The older ones seem to need a car, latest fashion and so on...............then they need help getting into their own home........so there's more to come Tim, but i'm sure you wouldn't have it any other way. Nice talking to a dad that makes his children milkshakes........kind regards......John
