There are various phases that I've observed:
1. They can't move stage. Depending on their sleep schedule, this is easy, or it's still tiring.
2. They can move. They still have the baby sleep schedule. No sleep, no time.
3. They have a normal sleep schedule. You can sleep.
4. They can play with other kids. A chance to save time, if you can use it!
5. They go school. You have time.
6. They are teenagers. You wish they spent more time with you.
7. They move out. You miss them a lot.
8. They move far away. You miss them even more.

It might take longer than your friends kids, it might take longer than the books say, but don't despair - you'll get there > 6. They are teenagers. You wish they spent more time with you. My kids are only 1 & 3, but I'm very conscious of having learned the lesson of others on this. I believe spending time with your kids while they're happy to spend time with you is far more important than putting in extra hours at work or fixing bugs in your hobby projects
- leonroy 10y ago> 2. They can move. They still have the baby sleep schedule. No sleep, no time. Phew, this list resonates. Never thought the time would come that my wife and I would get an uninterrupted night's sleep but sure enough time passes and we're at point 3. Alas points 6 onwards are in the back of my mind. Tough balancing work and family but it's also such wonderful fun.
