Advanced Warning for Maternity Hospitals

[Morzedec]

There will be an awful lot of babies born next December.

Perhaps sadly, none of them will be mine.

Happy days,

[Cyril Haearn]

Disagree!!
I think there shall be many fewer babies, fewer chances to find a new partner

Who is right, Cyril or Morzedec? Made a note in my calendar to check in December

Also less wining and dining, or drunken nights out. I wonder what it'll say about us as a society.

More divorces too. New divorce petitions rise after the summer and Christmas holiday seasons.

I read somewhere that 88 Chinese couples filed for divorce after quarantine.

[Morzedec]

Soft, hello,

Are people still getting married to have babies, then? I thought all that stopped about 1990. The norm these days seems to be having two or three offspring and only then - if they have not gone their separate ways - head for the vicar.

From our local parish magazine: 'The church has recently had a second font put in place, so babies can now be baptised at both ends.'

Happy days,

One wonders how many relationships will survive being cooped up in the same house virtually 24/7.

Our's will, I have no doubt.
We argue like cats and dogs often, and bicker endlessly.
Married 48years and pushing 49years later this year.

She often annoys me, and I often annoy her, but we love each other endlessly.
I cannot imagine being locked up with anyone else and still survive.

PS:

Just read my post - above - to Mrs Mick F.
She agrees completely with what I've posted.

We are a lucky couple.
I wish all couples could be as happy as we are.

Mrs Syd and I bicker continuously as well.

She frequently tells folk that, truly, the best compliment I have ever given her is that she “isn’t the worst wife I’ve ever had “.

Still, I do think the divorce lawyers will have a lot of work from other couples in the near future.

33 years this August for me and Mrs M
We used to argue and bicker a lot, especially before we were married, but the longer we have been together the better we get on.
As Mick F says "We are a lucky couple.
I wish all couples could be as happy as we are."

One thing out of this situation is the young uns will have a better understanding of how it feels to be retired.

Reduced income

More free time

No days off.

Indeed interesting! I am coming at this from the opposite end to most here - after 15 months of spending 3 or 4 days/nights a week with each other and going on total of 6 -7 weeks holidays together I am today moving to my girl friend's (hardly appropriate, but better than alternatives) house for at least the next 3- 4 weeks. We have considered the pros and cons (re Covid) and discussed with our respective adult children. We have kept apart for nearly 2 weeks in case either/both of us became infected on a recent coach holiday and have been stringent in distancing.

Yes, a risk but will be able to look after each other without external contacts. We can have separate bedrooms and bathrooms (and yes this makes us very lucky compared with so very many). Being in solitary would not I think help our general "well being", although I do not think that would have much bearing on Covid.

We are both widowed, no baggage, but as well as the health stuff it will be a "test" of our relationship.

Good luck, all!

....and we won't be a burden on maternity!

[Morzedec]

My latest "Rich Widow": seven days, and counting ................. goodness, I feel tired.

Happy days (and sleepless nights).
