Fines are very much school / area dependent.

Neither of my kids schools have ever issued fines for non-attendance during term time. They mark it as unapproved absence but nothing comes from it, either when I've taken my kids out or friends / family have taken their kids out.

As with all these things, don't take the mickey and nobody will care especially if you are selective with which dates you go.

Took my boy out in November to go Disneyland, told him to keep stum as the school rejected our request for absence, so we changed the dates.

We told him the morning of the day we were going, we were going to leave for a holiday as soon as he finished school and told him not to tell the teachers...

He told the teachers....

I got a phone call I reassured them he misunderstood and we weren't going till the weekend, then rang in sick for the rest of the week. Was a pain in the bum and I'm sure they knew what we done but couldn't be bothered to do anything about it

Our one year old twins have taken to lying in bed for up to two hours just muttering, chatting and making noises to themselves and each other. Its very annoying and they sleep in later as a result. They are quite happy lying there amusing themselves but we should try and put a stop to it. Problem is, if we go in to try and settle them and get them to sleep they think its fiesta time and stand up and start bouncing and squealing at us. Then we have 2 boys trying to get into each others cots and generally being menaces.

God. Damn. Children!

From the outside it sounds quite cute but I can imagine the irritation it probably causes when you're on the receiving end!

Its bloody annoying but they are still so cute at this age. Have to keep resisting the idea of adding another one. My partner keeps reminding me that I can't "make a girl" and that we might get another set of twin boys!

Twins sounds like a damn nightmare to me

The missus keeps saying she wants another hellspawn but it just doesn't seem to be happening right now. Obviously, I'd love any kid we had but I'm really not that bothered anymore.

We have a boy and a girl. As soon as the girl was home from hospital, I was straight down the doctors to organise the snip. Six weeks later done. Definitely one of my better decisions

I've told her once she gets pregnant that I'm going for the snip. She gets upset ffs!

Yep, we got a full set too and thought that's enough .

I'm never having the snip.
I refuse to mutilate myself, when there is a basic pill to take for a woman.

 

[Junglist]

We're in discussions if we can face another and if not, I'll probably opt for the snip

Yeah, but said woman can accidentally choose not to take that pill

Mutilate!

That's the best thing I've heard about it! Bravo!

Yeah, similar situation for us. We might wait to see how we feel in the next 12 months and then make a decision but I reckon I'm 90% convinced we're fine as is and my wife is 95% convinced...

How else do you describe it?

How was it? If you don't mind me asking?

I don't have kids but was thinking it's time to get it done.
At 38 I hope the doctors don't push back too hard.

You don't have kids, yet want to stop your ability to do so?

I don't understand?

You're thinking of the other thing they do when you get towards the end of your 30s.

That's not a 100% failsafe. Women have become pregnant while on the pill.

Nor is the Snip.
Yet one is invasive mutilation, and the other is not.
