Just while we're on that subject, one thing you might want to consider @Tree13 , the longer you wait, the greater the likelihood of twins. Or triplets....

And the greater the capacity for Mrs. Tree and I to be able to bear the cost, as our savings grow and we both progress in our careers. As mentioned earlier, we are budgeting for one, maybe two children - both going through private education. More kids than that just means they would come out of private by the end of pre-prep. Possibly they might stay until the end of prep, if we're lucky, but the fees really jump up at senior level.

I wasn't aware that the age of the parents is a contrbutory factor in the likelihood of multiple births - very interesting! Nevertheless, Mrs. Tree is still 26, like she was yesterday. Still pretty young to be having kids.

I was only pulling your leg mate. You've got a few years yet, it only really becomes a factor in your 30's.

There are more reasons than finiancial ones for not particularly wanting to have two at once, though. Sleep being the main one.

I've been with you up until this point, I just can't get my head around why you would want to spend a fortune privately educating your children as a matter of principle. Sending your child to a public school isn't gonna deny other children an education.

Because we're talking about discrimination against men. Normally it's justified because of a perceived sexual bias against women preventing woman entering the field however in Law that's obviously not the case since more female graduates are female.

I reckon you should go to Royal Ascot and throw yourself in front of the queens horse.

That will show them heartless wenches we mean business.

if you're missus concieves via the "reverse cowgirl" position, then the baby will be able to walk as soon as it's born

but the thing about parent's age meaning twins is utter nonsense
 

Alright you lot, you're ruining the only political thread we are allowed to have.......

Meanwhile has anyone noticed how virtually all of the Labour big beasts have all come out and said Miliband made a complete hash of the party and the election.......even Alan Sugar has jacked it in.......

No, it isn't, Pat. It's a real thing.

It just happened to my brother's missus, no twins in either family prior to this.
