    Hi

    My name is cathie And we have 3 children 12, 7, 2 and we are expecting twins in October. When people found out that I was having twins I didn't get congrates I got oh you poor thing how are you going to cope with 5 children. Some people can be soooo rude.

    Welcome aboard Cathy and big congrats on the twins!!!! I was in a shop yesterday with just 3 of my children and a lady said to me - You poor thing you must be so busy. I smiled and thought if only she knew this was less than half of my my kids! (And don't feel sorry for me I am as happy as a pig in muck!)

    In some peoples minds kids are a hassle not a blessing - silly them!

    Cathie!! Huge congrats on your twins!!! When I was pregnant wit #4, we were actually hoping it would be twins!! (odds were good as we have a history of twins on both sides!) You'll do fine, I'm sure!

    hehehe halltribe - when I just have TWO of my kids with me (the two youngest) alot of people tell me I must have my hands full - and I tell them that this is only half of them!!

    But I'm used to having two or three under school age!!

    Hi ladies
    We were kind of excited when we found out it was a huge shock for both of us. Thanks for your lovely welcome.

    Tee Hee. The other day I took a friend of mine and her 3 kids to a soccer pratice while she had no car, my hubby looked after my kids. I thought great going somewhere where its not my kids I have to keep track of and I am not the freak with 7 kids! Not so my friend (God bless her) ushered me around to everyone introducing me to her friend with 7 kids! Soon I had a group of people around me asking me 20 questions! So much for going incognito!!!

    I'm looking forward to going shopping with all of mine (once bubs is born) and seeing what type of other remarks people will come up with.

    My kids range in age from 13 down to 20 months at the moment so will be interesting lol
