Once the magical phase is over, children are quite boring.
It's cyclical.
Mine is in a useful phase as she can fetch beer and snacks from the kitchen but hasn't yet got to the point where she just hides in her bedroom all day.
Got mine (nearly 3yr old) to do up a screw on some flat pack furniture with a power drill and it nearly floored him when the screw bottomed out. Good times.
I just wish i could get some parents here (again) for some free child care while i ride my bike/be in the pub.
I dont mind paying for childcare but nursery has been flaky. Parents never fail otherwise i will rate them like 2 out of 5 stars.

I mean i am getting no benefits of first world and no benefits of outsourced labour.
