Hi, Im a father of 2 ...super active children.
Boy and Girl.

Speaking in Jeremy Clarkson style
Some say - that they have batteries the size of a nuclear power plant and it is impossible to shut them down .
And if someone tried to shut them down, they will still produce even greater energy, greater than Iron Man.
All we know, they're called the Stig, I mean..Kids

Okay...about my children:
My girl - being 5..is both talkative and super active. And the circus ring leader.
My boy - being 3 , is the follower.

My question is, how to get them to just run out of "gas" as soon as possible.
I mean..just don't be too active. I know children being active is a good thing, but this... doh.gif this is over the hill.
From morning till evening, without naps in between. Hardly. (It depends)

My daughter can never stop walking, climbing,touching anything.
But if we separate them then they will not misbehave. Like a obedient cat.

I don't remember myself being super active during my young age.
Some say that its because of the milk. (well I only drink regular Dumex during my time, not Sustagen or whichever 10X DHA milk)

Please don't flame me. I'm just finding a solution. My wife gets tired of them either screaming (or she screaming instead) or getting into an unwanted argument i.e daughter refuse to share toys with my boy then boy cries out loud...or worse..both.

Do you "fuel" them with mobile devices and/or multimedia?

Thanks for all the encouragement.

There is not much I could reduce after I had a kids, especially on the day care and my wife welfare (labour). Probably I just have to accept it no matter how.

Actually, there are quite a number of things you can do... Having kids doesn't necessarily take a toll on your finances.

1. Government vs Private Hospitals... I was only charged RM66 with Government, compared to RM2500 (quoted) with a Private Hospital (that is if there are no other complications involved)
2. Confinement and Care... Done by your own mother, or your MIL.
3. If you've other siblings or relatives who have children before you... you'll spend even much lesser with hand-down stuffs; cot, clothings, etc.
4. A slight change to lifestyle... Home-cooking vs eating out.
5. Hobbies don't die with children around. They can be put on hold.
