I also like running my own show and as much as I love my husband, the wheels often come off when he gets back! I am a lot more organised when he's away, but as the weeks tick by I'm finding it harder - and the late nights are taking their toll! I have a very close relationship with my children, but when I get tired I think I'm a little too snappy sometimes. Really miss sharing the parenting - never feel I can take my foot off the pedal.Jumble Treehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18178572046978666630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6141383639448060234.post-79968436127839044452012-03-19T23:58:05.612+11:002012-03-19T23:58:05.612+11:00Thanks Jennie!

LC goes away for work fairly often these days and even though I only have one child and don't work full time (well, I do, but it's from home, so no commute or change of clothes is needed), I also kinda sorta enjoy the solitude of being the only parent.<br /><br />Things still get done and somehow Sapphire and I are closer - we help each other instead of take each other for granted.<br /><br />But yes, I go to bed later and feel a lot more tired and my invisible tail wags just as eagerly as the dog's does when LC gets home again.MedicatedMoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08609190990579743429noreply@blogger.com
