Playing music and having kids... (1 Viewer)

[Psychotic no 2]

If I have kids they are going to sit quietly beside me while I play piano and then they'll unintrusively turn the page of the sheet music in the right places. Or so I imagine.

I think this will actually be Richie's children Ro . I was recently chatting to a girl about having children and she was saying that one of the advantages of having a child would be that you'd be on maternity leave and so would have time to write a book. I tried to break it to her gently that babies actually take up a lot of time and hard work.

Hats off to anyone who has a child and manages to do anything creative. I don't have children and still can't seem to find much time in my life for anything.

Ha ha ha! Hilarious.

As someone said to me once, when you have small children, you have to start thinking of your free time in terms of 15 minute chunks.

You just have to get super-organised about things if you want to keep making music. It's totally do-able (but then all I have to do really is turn up for practice).

Has anyone ever given birth in the middle of writing or performing a song? (Sorry guys, question to girls only.)

Ha ha ha!!!! Thankfully none that i know of. I was happily sitting on the couch watching an episode of Two Fat Ladies when i went into labour. ..technically speaking, we were three fat ladies that night.

Anthony used to bring chocolate but I think the pressure of having two kids knocked that one on the head.

No respect for tradition.

I cut down on chocolate when I cut out the biscuits. Just thought you huys should follow suit.

"Get the fuck out of my house" usually works with freeloaders like that.

I usually bring some cans so as to squeeze in some social drinking with band practice. As a parent you learn to multi-task with things like that.
