i tell you !!
Much as I adore my 5 yr old brat - sometimes I can't help heaving a sigh of relief when he goes off to school or passes out for the night.
They require and use up all of my energy and more patience than i know I have and then I don't have too much romance left in me.
Nature gets us to adjust very nicely though. At first they just sleep, they they start staying a little more but once they reach crawling stage, back ache and circles under eyes seem to become the new permanent fixtures. Seriously - after that - the late night movie and the lovely cup of coffee and the long chats all seem like dreams from another lifetime.
so let anandi and Shiv atleast enjoy each other without any such distractions except Mahi with his GF's or Ashi or Sanchi etc.
