Yep keeping getting told that :cry: .

My great plans for an evo have been blown out of the water, unless i can convince our lass that it is a family car, at least it has four doors. :D

Was thinking about dogs but occasionslly look after my dads dog and they are nearly as needy as kids. At least eventually kids should flush their crap and wipe their own arses.
Dogs you always got to pick it up :lol:

tbh if you can handle the dogs, they are the best training aid for having kids because of their neediness. Everyone knows my hounds come everywhere with me. Even when i don't want them there like pol.

I made the decision to have them so i need to put up with the baggage.

Congrats to you both. Will you be finding out what sex at the 20 week scan, or going for the "surprise package" at the end ?

Yeah that's what I thought. Proposed to the OH on New Year's eve in Innsbruck when the eldest was 8 months old. 9 years later we've had 2 further girls, but not yet tied the knot !!!!

Just make sure not talked out of your dreams,but still have to be willing to compromise.Which can be a big word in the world of kids.
Evo is still classed as family saloon so still good if ended up having any more children.
May have to get a secondary car or MPV,my compromise was upgrade from 200 series to 800 for when have the 3 kids.
Good luck with it all.
