1. Do you like children?
Children are fine. I have zero-to-low expectations of them up to the 'tween' age years, so while young kids having tantrums is one of the most annoying sounds in the world, I mostly blame the parents for allowing things to get to the point where the kid goes into meltdown. This is the legacy of my upbringing, when I was rigorously taught that tantrums/screaming/general petulance in a public place was completely unacceptable & there would be consequences later... See also: running amok in restaurants - the child should be taught right from the first trip to McDonald's that you sit in your seat until it's time to leave. Restaurants/cafés/food courts etc are not playgrounds. So... do I like children? Sure, but I hate lazy or bad parenting
2. How many children would you like to have in the future?
From the age when I was first biologically capable of contributing to the population, I've known I didn't want children. People have been telling me for decades that I'd change my mind "soon", but it's never happened. I'm now in my mid-50s & even if I did change my mind, I'm pretty sure that dealing with a teenage child when I'm in my 70s would lead to one of us getting arrested
3. What if you were expecting sextuplets?
I'd be having serious words with the urologist who performed my vasectomy about a decade ago!!!
4. If TLC offered to share your life on TV, would you accept the offer?
'You & Me & Cat Bella Makes Three'? With cameo appearances from my annoying family & from Long-Suffering Partner's family (who have become my preferred family unit). It would probably be a crossbreed of 'GoggleBox', 'Cats Make You Laugh Out Loud' & 'Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares'... with not even the slightest hint of a Kardashian lifestyle. That sounds like real reality TV to me!!!
5. What would you name the sextuplets?
Beki (short for Uzbekistan), Zak (short for Kazakhstan), Bodi (Cambodia), Nia, Sia (Lithuania & Indonesia) & Bob... Or maybe Bob, Hannah, Anna, Gig, Llewell & Solomon (Islands)
