First of all I'd like to say that I'm not being hard on parents, im a parent myself and I definitely believe it to be a growing experience. The love I feel from that one child is enormous and since he came along my life has changed (for the better) in lots of ways.
I'm just not sure multiple children is a good idea.
How have I come to this conclusion? A weekend with my nieces, plural, three of them. They always say three is the magic number but the this seems to be more a kin to the beginning of the scottish play - "when will we threw meet again, in spring, in summer or in rain" or at dom's house!
So the plab was to take them to our local adventure farm, you probably have something similar nearvy you, you feed the animals, collext eggs and generally run around in the sunshine tiring out little legs to ensure they go to bed on time or maybe a little earlier, so one can enjoy a beverage perhaps before the sun goes down.
The tiring out of little legs (and big legs) worked perfectly. Unfortunately then the logistics let us down. We're entirly used to the nightly routine of food, bath then bed. But after a tiring day out things were a little more strained. It hadn't occurred to us that three showers aitnd a bath would be required. This turned the normal 20 min turn around into a 80 min slog to the finish line.
But gey there we did and now all is quiet on the ranch.
So beer has been drunk in triumph and thoughts are for tomorrow.
Early starts no doubt that once again will be filled with rushing.
If anyone can tell me how you could do this on a day to day basis I would be very grateful. Thankfully it's almost done and then my sister owes me a night off!!
