It's happened to my uncle in ME (in his 50's now) for now the fourth time in my memory (actually the first one was a divorce). He'll date them for 7 or so years until their biological clock starts ticking and they move on, settle down and have kids. My brother, sister and I were the only kids ever allowed in his house.

I did my part in keeping the family average up, though.

We take our kids everywhere that would be considered child-appropriate and expect them to behave themselves. They are generally well behaved and quiet although they can and do act up every now and then, at least for how we expect them to carry themselves. I can say we are never the ones, with or without children, that stand out in a busy restaurant even with 4 kids in tow. That is until we leave and the two youngest ones feel the need to high five and wave goodbye to everyone we walk by.
