When you have little ones there are some things you should never do – if you don’t want to create more work for yourself that is!
Of course, most of us do indeed commit ALL of these parenting ‘sins’ because EXHAUSTION!
1. Staying up late
We’ve all been there. You’re exhausted from looking after children all day and yet when they’re in bed, instead of going there yourself you end up taking your precious relaxation time a bit far. We get it; you’re finally YOU again for a moment and there are just way too many awesome Netflix shows on, but there’s a big problem with this. When your head does finally hit the pillow, it might only be ten minutes before someone is crying out and needs your attention. Even if there isn’t too much night interruption, the kids are still up at the crack of dawn and you haven’t managed to catch up on any sleep at all. Forget about bingeing on television shows, just watch one episode then put the remote down and get that all important shut-eye.
