So true......I am wondering why the past year has been so good workwise for me.....Dah Dah (trumpet sounds) it could be because last DD has hit 15 and nearly 16. I have all this head time and non skivvying time that I am putting to good use now...
I promised myself in 1987, when son was born, that all the spare time that I never knew I had, which then just vanished, would be used wisely and profitably when it came back.......I only had to wait 22 years :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
Yes, I feel the same way. I've only been a parent for 9 years though, and I've got another 10 to wait before youngest is 16.
(I've been a parent for nine years???? :eek:)Do you know anyone who's bereaved? Point them to https://www.AtaLoss.org which does for bereavement support what MSE does for financial services, providing links to support organisations relevant to the circumstances of the loss & the local area.

Tyre performance in the wet deteriorates rapidly below about 3mm tread - change yours when they get dangerous, not just when they are nearly illegal (1.6mm).
Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.

It's knackering isn't it? Esp as nowadyas you feel you have to 'do' lot's of stuff with them...well I felt that. You don't just drop off at ballet class.....like my mother did...but should stay and watch.
I am getting more strict about the skivvying though......DD has the nerve to moan that the house is ''a bit of a mess'' sometimes...and it's her mess.
It's working mother guilt ingrained in me...I run around after them too much plus we always had a cleaner so they became really slobby when son was aged about 8 - 15.
If I think back, my mother was SAHM (just did piano lessons after school and early evening) and never ran around after us nor 'did' taxi service.0
