What things should a 6 year old be doing?

I know that it’s wrong to compare our kids with others but sometimes I can’t help it… after talking with other mum friends who have kids with the same age, I think that my son is not doing what he should be doing?

What do you do in the afternoon / evening now that it’s dark?

I’m finding the 4pm - 7.30pm bit of the day is really dragging now that it’s cold and dark outside. I used to go for a walk with lg in the pram or go over to the park but can’t do that as much now. What are you all doing to keep your little one entertained before dinner and bed?

2 under 2

I have a nearly 7 month old and a 2 year old, now the weather is getting colder and the parks are freezing 😂 does anyone have any days out ideas? I worry with play areas as my oldest isn't big enough to play on her own but I cant carry my 7 month old round a wacky warehouse 😂
