1) Have a baby.
2) Have another baby 12 years later.
That's all there is to it. You can have a couple of babies in between, of course (as I have done), but those two steps are the key elements. The reason for this is because the baby in Step 1 can help take care of the the baby in Step 2.
I bet you all didn't realize how easy that was. Just two steps.
Seriously, unless you have experienced this for yourself, you have no idea.
Of course, you don't want to take advantage of Step 1 Baby. And you don't, because it turns out that Step 1 Baby enjoys and wants to be of help to Step 2 Baby. It doesn't take much time either. Just 5-10 minutes of help can make a difference between sanity and insanity in the life of a mother.
Mothering could get pretty hard some times. If you've been a reader of this blog in the past, you saw times when I wasn't enjoying it very much. But, I'm telling you now, I have found the secret. This two step system is the way to go. One. Two. There. You're done. You're welcome.
Not only does this system help with times at home, but it also helps you get out of the house more. You can go on dates again! You grew your own babysitter!
This is also working with the second born child as well. On nights when the oldest is not available, we can now leave Step 2 Baby with one of the other kids we had! It's amazing. And he likes doing it too. It makes him feel responsible and it brings out the nurturing side of him, which is sweet. (He also likes the fact that I let him watch a movie when we go out, so he is more than happy to see us go.)
So, enjoy this Amazing Two Part System that I have laid out for you, my dear readers. It makes life easy. It makes mothering easy. It is the secret, the Holy Grail, to motherhood. I have found it and I cannot keep it to myself anymore.
Implement as you see fit. Individual results may vary.
