dp and I went to stay with our very good friends last weekend - their kids are the same age as ours - 1 and 3, in similar routines - bed at 7pm, up at 6am - 7am etc.
In the evening when all the kids were asleep we got chatting about life before and after children and I was flabbergasted when they said their energy levels were pretty much the same now as before having kids! dp and I seem to be completely exhausted most of the time - can't stay awake past 9.30pm, flop on the settee at 7.30pm.
Soooo, what are everyone's energy levels like a few years down the line? Are dp and I missing out on some vital vitamin?!!! Just wondered which was the 'norm', if there is one!
