Super exciting activities usually take place somewhere where Mummy can't go. That bit does get easier, as she gets older and more used to doing things with him, she will want to do it more ITMS.

I don't have the night time experience, but I now have two DDs who are absolute Mummy's girls. Neither of them want to be away from me if they have a choice, even at six years old. But Daddy is good at coming up with activities that will grab DD1's interest and I just don't go. We've been doing this since she was 18 mths. I need that break so that I don't resent her wanting me other times.

School has changed things too, so I'm thinking back a bit.
