Jesus I donāt know lads. Yer are all lieing through yer teeth or thereās something really wrong in my house.
Ya plenty of those lovely moments and they are great but jesus plenty of shit moments too. Iām over 2 months in to having the kids as herself is still working.
Up at 630/7 and full on all day until 8ish.christ the 4 year old seems to get board very quickly and we are doing a load of different stuff every day. The 3 year old is very easy going and would keep herself entertained all day if she was left to it.
Breakfast and dinner take a fucking age as I refuse to feed them but Iām sticking with it. The 4 year old seems to crave attention and if sheās not getting it takes it out on the 3 Yr old.
Iām not joking itās not easyā¦ 8 weeks down and it feels like a year. Donāt get me wrong we have plenty of fun and craic but at times I would be pulling my hair out and looking forward to the night time so I could at least have a shit on my own.
Iām delighted for everyone else on here where little 
or 
are just model children 
Weāve all been there.
Fuck sake. You canāt be going telling the truth on this thread. Youāll ruin the fantasy on everyone.
Nah, Iāve a wife who is out of work until this is over and we only have one kid who is 16 months old. She is a nutter though. Sheās doing a dinosaur sound at the moment, so Iād be at a work meeting and people will hear this āgrrrrrā in the background. If the Mrs was at work, Iād be fucked altogether
You could turn on the 1994 Connacht final for them there.
The turgid levels of skill would have them dropping off to sleep in minutes.
Tough going. Everyone in this house is 18 and older. Our issues are more about keeping a large supply of food available and fighting over netflix. Harmless really compared to having small kids about all day every day. We have donated a lot of toys from the attic to some friends who needed new gizmos for their kids.
Have you a bit of a garden they can tire themselves out in for an hour?
They are outside from pretty much 9 until 7.they have more energy than most and love been outsideā¦ Swings, slide, trampoline bouncing castle, sand. Loads of room in the gardens and plenty of land to wander down for walksā¦ Doing a lot of the same stuff each week in the same places has them pretty board Iād say at this stage
I donāt know how you do it, in fairness.
Herself did that with our youngest. It was great for her, the baby and the rest of us.
Thereās the two of us working from home, makes it much easier, while bringing its own torments. Trying to WFH while managing kids, on your own. You have my sympathies.
I had this conversation with mrs j the other night.! Thank fuck our kids arenāt younger. Our kids are 5 and 8 and theyāre grand. My bro has 6, 4 and 2 year olds and hes fucking bolloxed. He looked like shit on the family zoom call last night! Fair play to you! And enjoy your shit tonight.
I presume youāre not filling them with sugar just for a bit of peace?
The missus is at work 4 days a week and our regular childminder is not available now although we got a local girl in for afternoons. Work for me is now an essential workplace but Iām still doing mornings WFH with the 16 month old. Its bloody hard - if anything because itās hard to have any variation due to lockdown.
Two teenage girls. 90% of the time itās fine. But fuck me when it kicks off, it kicks off.
Oh I will
God noā¦ They are bad en3š
Iāve a brother something similar, poor fucker looks haunted.
Similar to investing in a pension fund (withiut tax benefit). You can pick level of risk you are comfortable with. Less risky funds will give fuck all return though in reality
Are you trying to work the day job as well? Sounds like hell. They are a busy age
