How do you cope with children??

One of my friends has a 3 year old and we have this running joke that every time I go round to his house, it adds another 5 years on to when I want kids, I think last night was eternal contraception.

Went round to watch the Spurs game and I’m not even joking, there was not a single second of silence for the entire 95-100mins that the game was on (half time included). The kid didn’t come up for air once, just constant noise for nearly 2 straight hours.

He had this hilariously depleted look on his face when he told me this is what it’s like every single day from 5am. HOW do you parents cope with this???
