Guest guest Posted November 16, 2001 Report Share Posted November 16, 2001 Well, I'm back from a long sojourn in no-mail land, so thought I ought to do a re-intro. Live in deepest Kent, with 3 boys and 1 wannabe boy (dh), plus assorted pets. I see a few names I recognise, so excuse me if I feel at home and plunge straight in.

Guest guest Posted November 16, 2001 Report Share Posted November 16, 2001 Welcome back Alison. I think I remember you from the old days, LOL. Enjoy the chat - there's a thread about families with three or more of the same sex at the moment so you will fit right in. Are you pets all male too? Joyce co-moderator.

Guest guest Posted November 16, 2001 Report Share Posted November 16, 2001 Thanks for the welcome back, Joyce. Well, I used to be heavily outnumbered on that front too, but the 2 male rabbits were replaced with 2 female guinea pigs a little while ago, which balanced things out a bit more. Still in the minority though, with 3 male cats, only 1 female cat and a male hamster as well! However, being one of 3 girls myself, I have to say it is interesting living in a house where the dominant hormone is testosterone ;o) Alison Welcome back Alison.

DH used to be very forgetful about this until we got kittens and I told him that the kittens might fall in and drown if he didn't put the seat and lid down - its done the trick! http://www.foxstitch.co.uk/ SAHWM to (4) and Kitty (2) with new arrival in January.

Guest guest Posted November 16, 2001 Report Share Posted November 16, 2001 HI Alison & boys - from a girlie house ! Barbara... with 2DDs and even our hamster (RIP) Harry turned out to be a girl! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 16, 2001 Report Share Posted November 16, 2001 Well, the problem doesn't really arise in the upstairs bathroom, as the loo seat refuses to stay up by itself! The boys have to hold it up and then either put it down or (more likely) let it fall with a bang. Slightly dodgy for them if they let go in mid-pee.... Downstairs, I have to confess that they must be quite good at doing it, because I don't often have to do it myself. More troublesome is the habit they have acquired from watching their father - dropping about 5 towels on the floor after washing their hands.

Guest guest Posted November 16, 2001 Report Share Posted November 16, 2001 Actually, you've just reminded me that both of our rabbits was *supposed* to be boys and, when the mistake was discovered, the " true " male, poor thing, had to go and be gelded! Do you suppose it's a coincidence that our female cat is my favourite, or is it just that she is more cuddly/friendly/snuggly than the others? Alison HI Alison & boys - from a girlie house !
