Sorry guys, but this one was not serious. I got such a pasting on the other thread I thought I would run this one. It was discussed hypothetically betwen some friends of ours recently.


I have only two children - both girls, and to be honest it would be both or none as most people suggested, if I wanted to spend my money that way, which I prob wouldn't.


Rosie made me laugh. And yes my wife says I'm sexist too.


Made for a good thread though - lots of responses in a short time.

send the best looking girl, she can then get married to someone with money quick, then pay for a top education for the children of her siblings and then also pay for her siblings to leave work and study, OU or something, in later life. Plus the Parents of her rich husband may be a right fruity pair of swingers then you and your hub could find yourself in some big stately home in years to come dressed as victorian parlour slaves havin a right bubble !


christ its so simple, i wonder why i bother !

Send all three kids to the local state school and, if you have any spare cash, add some additional learning where or if needed...

music, languages, extra help if not doing well in a specific subject, etc...

In 1 out 5 households (within a male and female relationship) the woman is now the main breadwinner and 1 in 5 men are now the primary carer of children within families in the UK.

so TLS maybe men have more 'choices' that you think!

or are we still here???

Mick,


Completely agree with previous posters as being all or nothing. You will create such issues between your children and besides, it's nice to have them all at the same school. Agree with charliecharlie that you can then splurge on extracurricular activities like music, dance, drama, football and also buy that baby grand piano so they can practice and/or build a football pitch in garden for your son.


Hope this isn't a wind-up?! :)


Best,

-C

Often worth reading the thread, C.

    • So posh chicken then. Shame then that the supply of chicken is going to become harder to acquire and more expensive through the increased prevalence of bird flu 
    • Well yes, never heard those terms or used, so it was a case of googling to find out what they mean. Others may know or be acquainted with those activities on here???
    • It's complicated, the Dulwich Estate own the freehold of the land and Southwark Council are responsible for Belair Park, presumably on a lease.  In the 80s the house was sold, presumably on a long lease, to quite a famous chef whose name I forget!
    • Thanks, it was another mother who found it, and went around the playground asking people before leaving it at the café, so she should take the credit. I suggested posting here, but she's not on the EDF so I offered.. hope it gets reunited with it's owner.. from the look of it it will be missed.
