Anyone see the bbc newsline last night about the male chind minder?

Fair play to him.  Don't see why anyone would have a problem with it.

Sorry Rick, but i'm gonna hi-jack this thread... nobody replied anyway 

What is the going rate for a child-minder?  And do people have any qualms about using someone that isn't registered.

[BenDover]

Depending on where ye live the rate varies the Armagh Newry Area is from approx £3.50 - £4 /hr/per child.

Bridge legend now! A great addition to the club and has been the driving force behind the fantastic youth structure we have in the Bridge now.

Jaysus Hoof! I have 2 under 2 and wouldn't even dream of a third right now.  I thought I had it tough too!!

[Hoof Hearted]

we didnt dream of a 3rd either, but you know how it is, best laid plans and all that....
it's good craic and all that but it's some work. i would never call it hard work, cause there is a lot harder things than that, i might pull the pin now though...

Some craic alright!    I wouldn't have it any other way with my 2 boys, Mrs would like a girl and so would I (secretly) but I wouldn't consider it right now, no room for another one!

[Hoof Hearted]

we already had one of each, the "gentlemans family". so there was no panic from either of us. but now another boy is here it's great. I suppose if you we were guaranteed another girl we would definately go again.

my father comes from a big family, 12 children. the 1st one passed away just a few months ago and all the chat at the wake was how the hell did they do it, especially in the 40's 50's and 60's ?

that was 12 in only SIXTEEN years too. unreal. and me and you think 2 or 3 is mad !!

[ardmhachaabu]

I think if we were guaranteed a girl I would be tempted to go for it now and let them grow up together.  My da was from a family of 11 and my ma from a family of 5 so I know the craic.  There were 5 of us too and I couldn't imagine 5 

[Hoof Hearted]

jesus there is 5 of us too, and 6 in my ma's family ! were very similar, good luck with number 3 next summer
