I can’t cope

I'll make them clean! But the ages will be from 2 years to 9 years old. @Captain24

Also, I just put 'school pants' on my nephew. They look worse than clown pants. They are so big. Size 3. I took his other shorts off and it was size 6 months.... poor kid... How can he go to school?

I’d be the one with the 2 year old. @tyme Except for nappy changes! Good luck getting them to clean.

oh that’s so cute! He must be so tiny. If I was closer I would make them to fit for you! He will be the tiniest in his class. Is he 5?

Yes, he is 5 @Captain24 . My sister bought the pants and she was going to sew them in to make it smaller... but after trying them on, it's like a toddler teenager clothes!

I think he will be the tiniest at school. But his cockiness won't be the tiniest! He's got character and is very likeable.

My neighbours grandson was always really tiny and he is 40 now and still tiny, but he had a massive personality!@tyme

I just read that you live next door to your sister. How’s that going??

It's okay living next door @Captain24 . I'm only doing it while the kids are young. I definitely want to move away later. I have another property about 10 mins drive. I might go back there when they are older, or just buy something else.

It's harder at the moment because the kids are off childcare, kinder and school. Once school goes back it'll be quieter.

It’ll be good to be able to watch them grow up @tyme.

Is your sister close to your parents? Do you have any other siblings?

My younger sis is closer to my parents. They talk regularly on skype or facetime - but maybe this is because of the kids @Captain24 .

I also have an older sister who lives in the same suburb as my parents (interstate). My parents look after her kids after school each weekday.

Does your bro have kids?

Ahh so you’re the middle child @tyme 😆

Yeah my bro has a daughter. She is 20 and lives about an hour from him. He split up with her mum when she was only 1.

It’s been a pretty rocky road for him and visitation. Then when Covid hit her mum wouldn’t risk her visiting her dad. She has a younger brother at home who is high risk if he gets Covid. He has currently lived passed his life expectancy.

So how many kids does each sister have?

Sorry @tyme. I’ve just realised I’ve asked a lot of pretty personal questions tonight. Sorry.

So your niece is 20!!!! Wow! What's the age gap between you and your brother? @Captain24 .

I am about 3 years different to both my older and younger sister.

In total, i have 5 nieces and nephews. Three from my younger sis and 2 from my older sis. So ages are 2, 4, 5, 7, 8.

I also have HEAPS of cousins. So I hang out with their kids. In a way, I'm their grand aunt lol. But they live all over the world.

My mother had about 6 siblings... my dad... well, I don't even know. All I know is that he is the youngest of his dad's second wife.

So yeah, there are relatives everywhere. The one I talk to the most and see the most is my younger sis and her kids.
