> Constant disruptions to be able to live a semblance of a good family life, always having to say" next time" or "later" to the things we want to do - even the simple things. At some point, what ends up happening is that in order to do anything at all, we have to do things separately when each individual can, which is fine, but in my opinion, it breaks the connection of what a family is.

Do you hit this phase often? I've been in and out of it constantly since having kids and with each year that passes I get increasingly madder about it.
