Poor Severus!!  I can understand his prid in not asking for help, but a Slytherin might also sneak in free babysitting. He might've even gotten Minerva to pay him for the privilege of playing with the kids!   Hmm, perhas next time...   Thanks for posting!  This was a delightful story to read, even if Severus suffered!

Response from notsosaintly (Author of Children Are a Blessing, Not a Burden)

You're right... a Slytherin would find some way to sneak in free babysitting.  I actually didn't think about that.  He was too focused in on having Hermione think he could handle it, I suppose.  *snicker*

-snigger-Note to self: NEVER let my kids read this fic! It'll give them ideas!! That was too evil!

Response from notsosaintly (Author of Children Are a Blessing, Not a Burden)

Yeah.  It's one of those parental nightmares, isn't it?  Perhaps I should have rated this much, much higher after all.

Yay and they all lived happily ever after. I must say that though I want kids. I am really starting to wonder if I could handl them

Response from notsosaintly (Author of Children Are a Blessing, Not a Burden)

I have two, much like Severus and Hermione in this story... they are currently 7-1/2 and 3.  My three year old is the rambunctious sort that likes to run back and forth between the living room and my bedroom, testing which is springier: the sofa or my bed.  Sometimes I wonder if I can handle children, and it's a bit too late to wonder that.  All I can say is, thank God there's no such thing as Weasley's Wildfire Whiz-bangs and... shudder... creature-loving Hagrids.

Response from Anijade (Reviewer)

Oh my the thought of a joke store like WWW available in our world and that would be ti.

Sounds like a typical household with small children.  Lamo!

Oh my goddess! I haven't laughed as much in ages!  *sniffs and wipes tears from face*  I have tummy ache from the hysteria.  What a brillaint work.  I love the ink saga and the boobah bit!  Aren't children wonderful?  It just goes to show that my two darlings are just the same as everyone elses even if they are fictional characters * my daughter at 4 decided to play "cooking" with her cousin (age 5) and a majority of my cosmetics!  They used a whole tube of foundation, half a bottle of chanel perfume and quite a lot of toothpaste amongst other things to paint up their dollies to have a party!!* lol LOVE IT!

Response from notsosaintly (Author of Children Are a Blessing, Not a Burden)

Thank you.  I draw on my two kids as well, although Sean and Saffie certainly get into tons more trouble.  I have written a first draft of the final chapter... hopefully I can finish this story soon.
