LOL Thanks guys glad he is finally here, better late than never I say (but don't tell an overdue wife that...).

Things are fine with mum and baby only in hospital for 2 hours after the birth all happily at home trying to find some sleep between him and the toddler (not working) lol.

Thanks everyone were pretty happy :) Although didn't realise how much more work another one would be..

Paige has been a little cranky not used to not being the centre of attention but has given her brother and cuddle and kiss and got upset when he cried so I am sure she will get used to it.

Should mention he will be called Noah, was born at 4.47pm yesterday and weighted in at 4.060kg (just under 9lbs)

Anyway thanks for the congrats, wok there are no plans to register the breeding or even go for a re-breed in the future.

I'm not entirely sure if I should be congratulating you or sending my condolences. Another kid = less money on fish, and you're absolutely going to go crazy!! But I guess in a few years you'll have someone to clean the dishes and mow the lawn, so let's call him an investment, huh?

Congrats to you all (especially mum, but I bet you did an awesome job getting ice chips or whatever!)

lol thanks all :)

Yeah it sounds like an investment, I mean who else can I pay $5 pocket money to do water changes for me in a few years and I am sick of doing the lawns too.. lol lmsmith they aren't cheap that's for sure, money isn't the only concern its having the time/energy to get out to the fishroom but I am sure it will all be fine :)

I beg to differ, children are not an asset or investment - they are a liability!

PARENT- Job Description

This is hysterical. If it had been presented this way,

I don't believe any of us would have done it!!!!

POSITION :

Mom, Mommy, Mama, Ma

Dad, Daddy, Dada, Pa, Pop

JOB DESCRIPTION :

Long term, team players needed, for challenging,

permanent work in an

often chaotic environment.

Candidates must possess excellent communication

and organizational skills and be willing to work

variable hours, which will include evenings and weekends

and frequent 24 hour shifts on call.

Some overnight travel required, including trips to

primitive camping sites on rainy weekends and endless sports tournaments

in far away cities!

Travel expenses not reimbursed.

Extensive courier duties also required.

RESPONSIBILITIES :

The rest of your life

Must be willing to be hated, at least temporarily,

until someone needs $5.

Must be willing to bite tongue repeatedly.

Also, must possess the physical stamina of a

pack mule

and be able to go from zero to 60 mph in three seconds flat

in case, this time, the screams from

the backyard are not someone just crying wolf.

Must be willing to face stimulating technical challenges,

such as small gadget repair, mysteriously sluggish toilets

and stuck zippers.

Must screen phone calls, maintain calendars and

coordinate production of multiple homework projects.

Must have ability to plan and organize social gatherings

for clients of all ages and mental outlooks.

Must be a willing to be indispensable one minute,

an embarrassment the next.

Must handle assembly and product safety testing of a

half million cheap, plastic toys, and battery operated devices.

Must always hope for the best but be prepared for the worst.

Must assume final, complete accountability for

the quality of the end product.

Responsibilities also include floor maintenance and

janitorial work throughout the facility.

POSSIBILITY FOR ADVANCEMENT & PROMOTION :

None.

Your job is to remain in the same position for years, without

complaining, constantly retraining and updating your skills,

so that those in your charge can ultimately surpass you

PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE :

None required unfortunately.

On-the-job training offered on a continually exhausting basis.

WAGES AND COMPENSATION :

Get this! You pay them!

Offering frequent raises and bonuses.

A balloon payment is due when they turn 18 because

of the assumption that college will help them

become financially independent.

When you die, you give them whatever is left.

The oddest thing about this reverse-salary scheme is that

you actually enjoy it and wish you could only do more..

BENEFITS :

While no health or dental insurance, no pension,

no tuition reimbursement, no paid holidays and

no stock options are offered;

this job supplies limitless opportunities for personal growth,

unconditional love,

and free hugs and kisses for life if you play your cards right.

Forward this on to all the PARENTS you know, in appreciation for

everything they do on a daily basis,

letting them know they are appreciated

for the fabulous job they do...

or forward with love

to anyone thinking of applying for the job.

** AND A FOOTNOTE 'THERE IS NO RETIREMENT -- EVER!!!
