Actual advice

Don't spend all day sitting in front of your new computer, only paying attention to the kids when they do something wrong. Definitely not in the rulebook.

Having said that, I'm happy, they're happy..win-win! Apart from middle child, who wants me to help her put her trousers on, and I am refusing, because she is 6. She is probably just sitting on the floor in her room getting cross with me, but she knows how to put them on, she's just being lame. Meanwhile, eldest child is wandering round in just tights. I feel like I should make her put some trousers on, but truly, I can't be bothered. If she isn't cold (which I assume she isn't) then it's up to her.

Youngest child is fully trousered.
