i love it when i spend a day with my nephew and niece, they're 4 and 18 months. its wicked watching them run round like crazy, then get completly knackered within 30 secs
VERY knackering, but also really really rewarding. i hate it when i see people who are stressed shouting at kids and upsetting them, the kids dont know. a little encouragement works better than barking at them. if they're being little gits also it messes with their heads if you play up worse!
they kinda stop, look at you with a WTF
expression, then completly forget they were being naughty

Then after you pick the eldest up from school, take them to the park to wear them out, by the time you get home and do tea, its bathtime and theyre knackered so ready for bed and fall asleep pretty much instantly.
Finley used to constantly cry, stick the washer on and put him infront of it if you have housework to do (yes your wife will clean the house whilst looking after the kids, there are no magic fairies who do it for you ) the white noise soothes them and reminds em of being in the womb, so might stop the tears
Then when he falls asleep you can get the ironing done or browse the internet for an hour

Babysitting can be fun, get some cakes made with eldest 2, that always wastes a few hours

Lambchop it is only hard for you as you are not designed or built to do it,you also don't have a routine set to do this new job,you also have your own work load.Role reversal would make it easier you do the kids she does your job.Wait till the kids become teenagers if you think it is hard now.
