In the winter however, suprisingly they prefer to stay in the warm, and we prefer it too as they then don't trudge mud into the house every 5 minutes while bringing their demands.Knock first as I might be balancing my chakras.Comment

By the age of 2 mine could operate the VHS. So when they woke up at stupid o' clock, they'd head downstairs and shove Teletubbies in (the youngest had the benefit of the CBeebies channel too). They knew if they woke me, I'd say they couldn't watch telly, so they'd take great pains not to disturb me! Sorted.
Youngest has just turned into a teenager - that's a whole different kettle of fish!Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave JohnsonComment

So on the other side(of things to do with kids).
I was thinking of signing the kids up for martial arts when they're young. What would be a good age to start kids in Judo or Karate?What happens in General, stays in General.You know what they say about assumptions!Comment

In my experience kids are an ongoing frazzlement. Some more so than others, and they cause different problems at different stages of life. I still have sleepless nights over my 35 year old daughter
One thing is for sure though, ref the sleep deprivation. It's like the safety video on a plane, when the oxygen masks come down, put yours on before you put the kids on. If you try to look after the kids first, you might all die.
The American Indians used to feed the men first, in times of food scarcity. It might be nice to feed the kids first, but if the men go down, they all go down.
Same with sleep and kids. If you end up having a nervous breakdown, you all go down. so you have to be a bit selfish, you have to think of your partner as well. you have to come up with a strategy and a plan to deal with it. its no joke
all in mho of course

Tried football classes. SY03 cried, he didn't like all the other kids running at him.
Tried tennis classes. SY03 cried, lost interest as to why.
The apple doesn't roll far, and he is just a junior bedwetter I guess.
Mind you when I were a lad I played footie, tennis, cricket etc etc
Since we have indefinately banned the Wii and made them play with real toys things are much much better. No squabbling, plenty of imagination and this morning I learned they were running from monsters that were part tree, and part Pterodactyl. Much betterKnock first as I might be balancing my chakras.Comment
