great thread. I am the eldest of 6 kids and my little brother was born in 1994, my youngest sister in 1991. TO say that we had different childhoods is an understatement.

They spend all their time with their Playstation and mobile phones.

(yes they both have them, mobile phones are very cheap to use here and you don't pay for incoming calls just for outgoing ones, Ireland has one of the highest mobile phones per head of population rates IN THE WORLD even my 90 year old Granny has one!)

Some things don't change though, my little brother's favourite TV show is "Home Improvement" you know the one with Tim the Toolman Taylor- well we just loved that when we were around his age and for him its unmissable now! Also my Mum still drops the youngest two off to hurling and football training, same as she did for us 20 years ago.

Even what we eat has changed so much, when I was growing up we had potatoes and meat and veg for dinner every day, then I showed my Mum how to make spaghetti bolognese and the rest is history- now they eat pasta at least two nights, curries, fajitas, stir fries, if they have a meat and potatoes dinner once a week its unusual!

We STILL don't have an answering machine at home though!
