What we used to call "wife swapping" in the sixties. 

Sudoku is down on the same quarter of last year by 25% though.

  much clearer, thank you 

 I asked ChatGPT. The answer below. Not sure I'm any the nearer. The world is getting a bit too complex for me these days...

Part of an exception in legislation ...  or if the children were born as part of a kinship arrangement.    What is a kinship arrangement

ChatGPT said:
A kinship arrangement means the child was conceived or born through an agreement with relatives, rather than unrelated donors or surrogates.
In UK legal language, it normally covers situations like:

• A family member helping another family member to have a child — for example, a sister acting as a surrogate, or a relative donating sperm or eggs.
• Arrangements within an extended family where the adults already have a biological or social connection.

The key point: it isn't a commercial or anonymous-donor setup. It's reproduction assisted by someone who is already part of the wider family network.
These arrangements often come up in legislation because they can affect legal parentage, parental responsibility, and registration rules, since the relationships between the adults and the child are non-standard compared with typical IVF or surrogacy cases.

I'm increasing my daily naps. Not certain how many more I've got as I usually forget to log them down when I wake up.

            

Look, if any of you are alone this Christmas with no family to spend the holiday with, let me know, I need to borrow some chairs.   

" or if the children were born as part of a kinship arrangement. "  What on earth does that mean  ?

That's the spirit Ashy, well done
