@DeeDee85 just had a look and that Wentworth Woodhouse is about an hour and a bit away from us. From what you’re saying it sounds like it could be worth the journey across. We’re always looking for things to do to pass the weekends and avoid the ‘pressure cooker’ of being at home too long!

I loved it so much when they were 2 to 4, no terrible twos or fucked up fours in my memory (but maybe I'm getting a bit senile here). It sure was a hard time but also so much love from these little creatures. Now they are 22,20,19 and my youngest got 14 today. I would give my right arm to be cuddled as in those days.

@long_john86 I would definitely recommend coming over if it’s only an hour? The farm is great for the little ones and the garden centre and gift shop are great too. Then there’s the cafe and the restaurant. Can easily stay busy well into the afternoon.
The house itself is worth pre-booking a guided tour of as well if you had time on the same day. (Maybe not so exciting for little ones though) It’s currently undergoing some major renovations but I’m sure tours are still offered. The history of the place is fascinating and heart breaking in equal measure, well worth reading up on. It is as imposing as Buckingham palace upon first laying eyes on it and hardly anyone seems to know it exists! I think Wikipedia will explain most of how it came to be in disrepair and the book Black Diamonds is fantastic if you want to get the full history.

@endo I do wish time would slow down or just stand still completely sometimes when I’m looking at my little one and she would stay this age forever. It scared me how she wasn’t a baby for two minutes.
And then she farts directly into my face while following her up the stairs and I remember why we’ve agreed to not have another one. -
1 child household here also, the wife when the boy turned 2 was trying to convince that another 1 would be a good idea, I was 37 when we had Jacob and there was no way on earth another one was going to happen, he turns 8 this year and for the life of me I have no idea where those years have gone

@Brian We were a very similar age when we became fathers then, my wife and I were both 35 when she dropped pregnant. We did mention having another briefly then a couple of years past, we are now 38 and it seems as if we’ve left it too late. No regrets though
we do actually have a 3 child household, my wife has too boys in their early teens from her previous relationship -
Technology has officially gone too far
My oldest (10) was taking pictures with her tablet of things around the house and using smart search to see what things cost online and discussing her findings with my wife
Eventually she decided to take a picture of me.

I consider these the first shots fired in the war between humans and robots

It’s password time for all your IH belongings.. my kids are still in that age where they call there black boots ‘wesco’s like daddy’ but shit seems to get worse. And a picture.. ok.. but discussing with the spouse.. ouch you must feel betrayed 🥹

At a different stage here … our daughter turned 19 yesterday. Here in Canada, it’s a big deal … legal drinking age.
Where did the time go! We are so proud of her, and can’t wait to see what the future holds.
