Sure. But I was not looking at the pay off portion. Just difficulty. My experience is it goes up a lot from 1 to 3.

Fair enough. I struggle to separate the two honestly. Its the difference between hard work when you enjoy yourself vs hard work when you aren't. Theres no comparison in difficulty between the two for me. I'm not saying that I didn't enjoy it when they were younger but it doesn't feel like harder work now despite the fact it perhaps is.

I guess everyone is different and everyones kids are different.

My 5yr old must have set a timer, for 4:19am this morning, on his iPad last night. Woke up wondering what the hell it was going off.

Nursery playing games again to keep their PnL look healthy. They closed for a day due to no hot water, and they've refunded the paid part (food) of a funded day, yet happily taken the money from the council. They apparently can't do anything as the nursery is full. Can't wait until he's in school and I don't have to deal crap like this.

I have to say I love having time alone as we get up to no good. Albeit my kids are a bit older (9 and 7) but if the weather is nice we'll be out all day. It it isn't we often build a den and play games in the den. I also get them to help bake some bread or bits and pieces. It's tiring especially if you want to do things for yourself but being present and really tapping into those moments is precious!

How did it go in the end?

Youngest went down 2 hours after moral times whilst juggling her and her sister.

Eldest was awake with me until 10pm when Mum got home unfortunately and she felt it the next day. It’s amazing how a tweak in routine for a single evening can cause chaos!

Same scenario to look forward to this coming Wednesday

Do they need all proof, e.g. conception video, delivery video etc?

All of the above, including your face, plus DNA samples.
