Trying to stay sane

4 days into 12 days of solo parenting and I'm ready to pack it in. That or eat 3 chocolate bars and drink about 5 martinis. And then pack it in.

We have entered the WHY phase with gusto. So much so, that the other morning, when Mister Man woke up at 4:30 in the morning he was replete with them.

Me: Sweetheart, you've got to back to bed

MM: Why?

Me: Because it's the middle of the night

MM: Why?

Me: Because it's still night

MM: Why?

Me: Just because, now stop asking why and get to bed

MM: (you guessed it) Why????

How do you stay sane with the constant sound of WHY?
