Diary Of A Bad Dad

Asurvey in America a few years back claimed to prove that looking after a child is more tiring than going out to work. I have tried to keep that information hidden from Mrs T as she might be tempted to use it during our daily discussion on which of us is the most exhausted. We don’t argue about it... because we’re too tired to argue.

In any case the survey’s quite clearly nonsense as Child A might be twice as tiring as Child B.

In our case Child T the T seems to be conducting his own sleep deprivation experiment with me and Mrs T his guinea pigs.

Having been a good sleeper for most of his young life he has suddenly taken to wandering into our bedroom at random points in the middle of the night.

Friends with older children bemoan how difficult it is to get their kids out of bed.

I reckon it’sbecause after years of sleepless nights they strap their kids to the bed and padlock the doors.
