You know, I have long suspected it gets 'easier' as dc's get older (even though so many btdt's won't give it up). My dc is 3yo and at drop off camp for 3 HOURS-it's heavenly! It must be fab once they go to school FT. You get life again! [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

down the road, when your dd's friends decide she's not "in" anymore or your son doesnt make the sports team he really wants to or your child has a severe problem in school, you will look back on this time in your life as pretty darn great. Make the most of your dc's nap times! [ Reply | More
