Today Vanessa had her first day back at work since beginning maternity leave in late November last year.
But having been left literally holding the children, I'm now glad she doesn't go back for real until January.
Because whilst I have sometimes considered becoming a househusband, I now know for sure that it's not for me.
The secret of success? I have absolutely no idea.
My tactic revolved around captivity but, judging by the looks on their faces, I'm not sure it worked for either Jamie or Charlotte.
Still, at least I didn't lose them.
