Mothering Many

My dh and I have a saying, “fly times”. It’s our shorthand for that phrase “Time flies when you are having fun”, crossed with where did the time go and how did it get so late?!!?? Have you ever noticed that as parents you can tell what time it is by the behavior of your children, no luxury watches needed? Around here, at 8pm one son becomes rebellious, hard headed and belligerent, and one daughter becomes clingier than a post it note. That’s when dh and I look at each other and I say “must be bed time!” and he says “fly times”.
