    My Apple TV box and subscriptions serve me well during those hours when I’m still sleeping

      My boys turned 7 and 9 over the last couple of weeks. Since last year, I've made it a tradition to all go on a week long holiday (we went to Marocco last year - I think I posted some pictures)
      This year, we went to Ibiza. The week went by like crazy, and I got filled with so many emotions I could barely keep track.
      They are still my baby boys, but I can see and feel them growing older. I still put my 7y old on my shoulders during walks every time he asks me too because I know that one day, it'll be the last time. Same with bedtime stories and all the other little things.

        @GraemeE man, I look forward to the day my little guys are self sufficient enough to even babysit themselves with TV while we sleep in. We’re still in the crack of dawn, get their little asses up, wipe those asses, and try to feed them while getting screamed at for giving them a blue bowl instead of a yellow one phase

          @chillmonroe typically one of us still has to be "up" ( turns out 5 year olds have shitty judgment/impulse control if left to their own) but if we can stream a show we can be in zombie mode with tea or coffee until we actually wake up

            @GraemeE ah. Yeah we do that for sure. Four and two year old here. Although the oldest requires Transformers (from the 1980s only, dad win right there) and the youngest requires Ms Rachel. So we either set em up in different rooms or put Transformers on the big screen and give the little one the phone while we make breakfast and caffeinate

                I miss watching Sprout with the kids. I don’t think it’s still Sprout but those shows had the cutest hosts...

                            That gives us months of convincing you to get sleep and how to do everything you shouldn’t do 😀

                              Everything you think you know is wrong, everything everyone tells you is wrong, at some point your kids will gladly tell you you’re wrong.

                              It’s not bad though, except for the sleep. I never knew what tired was until we had them.

                                Another top tip if they offer parenting classes over there don’t book it in for just before the due date just in case, Jacob decided to pop out 6 weeks earlier than was due and the classes were booked for 3 weeks before the due date

                                    @Brian oh wow! We have our classes booked to start in May and into June...I can't remember how long they go but they are well before the due date.

                                    @goosehd I'm hoping that raising two crazy golden retriever puppies a few years ago gave me at least some insight as to what this monumental part of my life may be like.
