In the News

A woman has been arrested after her baby was rescued from a smoke-filled house.

There were three children alone in the house, aged about 1, about 2, and about 3 (the one-year-old is the "baby" of the headline). Clearly she was wrong to leave them alone in the house.

But oh, by all the gods, I can think of so many ways to talk myself into thinking it might be ok. One year, two years, and three years. Gods.

I wonder have they any other parent, and will that other parent also be charged.

I could and on occasion I have, if I really need the sleep. It's making Charles stay there when he'd rather be in his room or the living room ;)

I've been working hard over the last year to make sure I call Tony on his lie-ins when they bug me, and also prioritising my own rest more highly. We are both happiest on the days when he gets up at a reasonable time without me having had to ask, and that's the goal I'm working towards, having that kind of day every Saturday/Sunday.

You could just give Charles something highly breakable of Tony's to play with first thing in the morning ; )

I imagine we'd have these sorts of sleep issues if we had kids because it takes a lot of noise to wake J.
