Took me awhile, had to find my Racing Helmet and save up some gas $$ for the Red Rascal Rider. 😀

Who called you an old fart? Where is he? Where does he live? I want to go there and tell him my opinion. :|
:beer:
LoL, If you do not post in this thread you are not an old fart ... you are either a young xxxxxxx or an old yyyyyyy.
(put the word of your choice instead of the xxxxxxxx).

Yeah, but better to be an old fart and linger than to vanish in a flash...
The more grey I get, the more distinguished I feel. And if I break wind at inopportune times as a result, that's just the price I (and others) must pay 😀

My oldest will be 5 next Monday and my youngest is 20 months (2 boys). Thankfully I don't have any children in the middle and don't plan to have any more. For me, 6 kids would be nuts. I have trouble keeping up with the 2 I have sometimes. I suppose it gets easier when they get older though.
Heh - right...
I've got 4 teens right now. :shocked:
Plus an 8 & a 10 year old. IMHO the younger ones are the easier ones.
My 3 teenage girls would give any parent a run for their money.
My 16 year old son is easy by comparison, but potentially could be a problem for a much longer time. The boys seem to mature a bit more slowly, which is part good & part bad.
I know there are a few others here with large families. (are you out there Petrus?)
No matter the size of the family, parenting isn't for wimps. :laugh:

Yupp, here I am:
Five teenagers: three boys (13, 15, 18), two girls (14, 17) and a young woman (20).
I am quite happy: just now (that is for the past 3 - 4 months) they have been very comfy companions.
However, the time before that ... that did give us a run for the money. 😛
I agree, that parenting is not for the faint of heart, OTOH, there are very few activities that are so rewarding. I think sometimes that the kids teach us more than we teach the kids. But that is the nature of youth: repeat most of the mistakes of the parents and then add a few of your own. 😉
I agree that the younger ones are more easy. That may be the result of experience with the older ones.
I am also very proud of all the kids. They do well in matters moral; they know right from wrong, include ethical thinking and they more often think before they act than before.
One is on her way to become a police officer (which is a university education in Sweden), one is already planning a career in science, two are very talented musicians (who earn some money using their talent), one is just great in design. Only the youngest is more of a child - which is as it should be.
I would not call myself old. The kids keep me young and flexible in my mind. And that I am grateful for.
