A couple we knew had two pre-schoolers when the chap just had to have a
boat, just a teensy tiny one. It was so teensy tiny it couldn't take all
four of them; and he was the kind of hands-off father who didn't mind
his own children all by himself on land let alone in a small open boat.
So, the promised life-enhancing adventure consisted of wife and both
children waiting around on shore while he messed about in the boat. She
was not amused.

Janet. No-one has truly depressed me as much as you have with this post.

I would be very interested to know how long ago this was and if they are
still 'a unit of four' :-((

We are a very very close family and always have been. Four children, the
eldest now turned Fifty and all have the parents they were born to. My wife
can add up on her clenched fist how many husbands she has had, just as I can
add up the same for wives.

How many readers of this newsgroup can say that?

No I feel that the "family" in the story are well on the way to being
'shipwrecked' if they are not already on the rocks.
