He is going to be a handful for quite some time I fear. But at home I only have two of them to deal with.
Dgd has been a great help playing with them today which made the afternoon easier. It's just been tough since 7pm trying to get one down only for the Lad to scream and throw a tantrum and wake them up again.
Not sure if I could cope with four very often anymore.
Tea!! I need tea!!

Not really. Think "Muggins" is more apt.
Still waiting for my daughter to return so I can go home.
Your doing great.
Kids are staying the night here and DS is collecting them in the morning. It's only me and Dgd due to go home. I was expecting Biggest home at 10 but it's now 11. I only agreed to come here as she said she wasn't going to be late. Hate to know what her version of late is. But I am hoping that the road will be open tonight. Tomorrow is the Grand Prix so the road becomes a no go area with all roads going in to Silverstone and nowhere else. Oo I hear a car. Time to go home at last.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over and through me. When it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
When the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.
Despite popular scaremongering it is very, very rare for children to be taken out of the care of their parents through state intervention, even where they have learning disabilities or other problems such as addiction. Three of Mooloos four children have proved incapable of independent parenting, but are still around with their own demands on her, contributing to the ongoing situation for a number of children who will grow up without the foggiest idea of what a stable family life looks like and how they belong in it - and most importantly who they can trust to have their best interests at heart.
What are these boys going to do when they are troubled teens (which can happen in the most stable families) and Mooloo is a frail pensioner with her own dysfunctional children still leaning on her? There is no evidence here of any planning for the best outcome for the children long term, and they deserve better.
This is none of my business “in real life” and I won’t comment again - but please recognise that to many people, keeping these children in this environment surrounded by multiple examples of how not to parent, with people they know should put them first but are congenitally unable to do so, is not necessarily in their best interests.
