To think that it's so much easier just having one child.

[dollywashers]

I have two daughter's. My Mum has started picking one of them up from school one night a week (alternate weeks for each girl). It's just so much easier with one child. We have had such a lovely time together. Not that we have an awful time when we are all here but just think it's so much easier with one.

When my children have hooked up with an "only child", they get incredibly spoilt by the parent, invited round lots, taken out, sleepovers etc, because it seems their child needs friends there for entertainment, and I'm not complaining! My three have each other, so we're never desperate to have others round, though that's changing now that they're getting older. It's all swings and roundabouts in this regard, as we're proabably a little more insular than we might otherwise be at times when we're all together.

When I'm down to just two DCs in the house, it feels very easy. A friend with four says it's the same when she has just three in the house. All things are relative.

YANBU to enjoy some relative peace.

Easier, yes, more fun, no. I love seeing my kids play together :)

I have 3 close together and every now and then between a combination of nursery or baby sleeping i have just one pottering about. it's very strange.
