[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is probably not what you want to hear but we are not totally there yet and my kids are 9 and almost 7. Of course they’re mostly independent but they have SO MUCH ENERGY. They are best buddies and that is great but they need to be run like puppies. [/quote]

Op here. So not what I wanted to hear :) but I appreciate the reply. Was hoping maybe magically the corner might turn at 2. I know that’s probably a fantasy.[/quote]

PP here, not at all.  We are now at the point (and I understand your second has special needs, which is another situation on your plate of course!) where they are mostly able to do their own thing - at the pool we don't have to hover, they can be in the yard alone, they can be on a floor of the house if we want to sleep in for an hour, etc.  Mine are also especially needy, particularly my oldest.  He's not good at entertaining himself or being alone, so he's ALWAYS sucking the air out of a room, if that makes sense.  That said there are milestones - not needing naps, not needing diapers, getting their own food/snacks etc.  You're not alone!![/quote]
