My mum despaired of us three sisters, we were terrible apparently! One of us (not me) managed to overturn her pram with herself inside it in the garden! It was one of those old big wheeled prams! We even managed to break windows.
As parent to @WonkyWomble I can certainly confirm that raising daughters is not always a walk in the park ... as a child her brother was considerably more considerate of our parenting abilities ... however having got her past the early stages I can also confirm that since then she has proved to be worth her weight in gold. 😎
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Sounds similar to my two Dove. My daughter is a childminder and loves the boys, they’re mischievous, testosterone charges so completing with each other but on the other hand, she can tell them off for something and it’s forgotten, the girls will sulk for the rest of the day. not a job I’d like, 6 under 5 isn’t my choice of a job.

I wish I'd stop poking anonymous clippings and breakages in the nearest bit of it bare soil. But then again, I don't. They often do better than the potted ones and they're nice surprises.
LOL Sounds like a day looking after Jonah and Gabriel @wild edges It's not just boys, Secondborn was a nightmare her worst disaster was jumping out the bedroom window when she was 2. I was convinced she was dead, but she didn't have a scratch. Took her to the hospital where the A&E doctor said, child is fine - mother needs valium.
OH has strimmed the bark on two of my trees, one an Amelanchier and the other a Peach, they won't die will they? he asked, probably not immediately I replied, he is now cleaning out the greenhouse as a penance
