One thing I've never heard anyone talk about is how much you can learn about yourself from your children if you pay attention, e.g. my child would start crying if things got too loud and I could never concentrate apart from working in the middle of the night. Putting two and two together I got myself a pair of -30db fitted ear plugs and now I can work during the day just as effectively. Turned out I'd been doing me wrong for 20 years.
