i've just been
on holiday with mine over christmas.

the younger one and his girlfriend virtually ate each other at every possible opportunity. ask one to go swimming, they had to ask the other. ask one to play tennis, they couldn't, because the other wasn't feeling well. repeat ad nauseam.

this would be annoying but acceptable if they were 14 and 15. but no. they are 29 and 32, and have been living together for 2 years. oh, and this is the same brother who would be unbelievably scathing about his mates ditching each other for a girlfriend.

the other brother and wife are great. their kids are 2 and 3 and unbelievably cute. however. a whole week of "no! mine!!! and SHOES!!!! SWEEEEEETS!!!!" from the 2 year old and exuberant auntieswipe loving from the 3 year old.... gah. you can't read. you can't sunbathe. you can't flirt with the obscenely hot barman because one of them is hugging your leg and he thinks it belongs to you. you can't eat. you can't walk. everyone on the plane hates you. everyone at the airport hates you. everyone in restaurants hates you. one of them is forever crying. or falling over. or crying. or hungry. or crying. or shitting itself. and then crying about it.

so now all i want, all i really really want, for christmas is to have my tubes tied!

although they did look bloody gorgeous in their christmas presents. maybe a dumb one that can change its own nappies would be ok.
