I picked up the boys enrolment forms for the boys school today and they are a zillion pages long.

I flicked through them and got a little cranky as some of them are on coloured paper.

When I had seen how long it was I had thought I'd just fill in one lot and then just photocopy it and fill in the names! I mean all the contact details, immunisation dates, Kinder info, head lice agreement blah, blah, blah is exactly the same so I thought this would be a great time saver. There is really only two tick boxes and the name space on the fifteen or so pages that are different .

Do I win the laziest parent award for thinking this? Be honest, has anyone else ever considered doing this sort of thing

I did this for their pre-school enrolment.

The advantages of having twins!

makes sense to me, actually i think its a good idea

Photocopy it anyway!!

I only have singletons and I do that, drives me crazy having to fill in three sets of emergency contacts, etc. I just leave the names and birthdates blank until after I phtocopy the first one

I've done it several times already for different things (music classes, Kindy waiting lists, FDC permission forms)

You are all making me feel so much better .
Thankyou!!!!

I also do it for my singletons! Fill in all the generic stuff copy and then put their personal details!

Not lazy, smart!

for ds1's enrollment form, I took one look and gave it to DH. I'll definitely copy your idea for the twins!

I wish I had thought of that when I filled in their daycare forms, I had to fill in the forms twice in 2 weeks cause the centre changed hands. I'll definately do that next time, Thank You

I got most of the way through filling in Delilah's daycare forms when I realised that I should've just filled in the generic stuff and photocopied before adding names and other individual particulars. I don't see you as any lazier than me for doing that with your forms. I see you as more clever!

I agree - just cleverer than me, never would have thought of it!!

OH MAN, WHY OH WHY HAVE I NOT THOUGHT OF THIS

Will remember it for future reference

not lazy at all!!! efficient!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How smart are you? I've never thought of that ... dammit! Considering the amount of info I have had to write over the years re: food intolerances and allergies... I can't believe I've never thought of it! You are so smart Cat!

I just fill in the one set for daycare, put the twins and their older sister on the one set. They were going to photocopy it or put notes in their records to make sure that the forms could be found for each child.
