Even worse around 25, by 30 they've usually almost disappeared and then they start to come back but have multiplied :mrgreen:

See my edit LAT. 25 as a mother wasn't a problem and 32 is even better. Look at it from grandma's point of view. Double the trouble and reduced energy to boot :mrgreen:

Belated congratulations from me too. They say being a granny is great - all of the pleasure and less of the stress than first time round.

I think 78 is the worst age. My mum is worse that all 3 of mine (23,19 and 13) put together, as she has has 78 years to perfect emotional blackmail.

No, sorry, it's definitely 83 when the real problems begin... :lol: (Mine is driving me demented at the moment). Any advances? :lol:

I probably shouldn't use that term lightly, because it is an awful affliction. But I'm sure you know what I mean. We just get the kids to be all independent, and then our parents start to play up!! Im looking forward to giving my two a really hard time in about 30 years' time!! :lol:

Well, I've been left in charge of the grandparents this week, while my mum and dad are away, and (touch wood), they're actually behaving themselves. The three of them went through a phase when, every time my parents went away, one of them got themselves in hospital!

I wrote:Or, considering she's the daughter of Leah, how about Helen? (That's Greek mythology.)
I've had my knuckles rapped by Xeno and Issachar for getting my mythologies mixed up. :(
In Greek mythology, Helen was actually the daughter of Leda, and in the Old Testament, Leah's daughter was Dinah! :oops:

Carmen... I hope she hasn't been saddled with Eileen as a middle name.... ;)

Her middle name is Ellis - a wordplay on her mum and dad's initials L S! 8-)
