Maybe I’m being pedantic, but I don’t think all of the 11 points you raise are true … they just feel that way, but you can change it if you want to.

Wait until Junior arrives. All points, with the exception of no.10 will disappear into obscurity. However, they will re-appear again in 20 years time, buried in the middle of a much longer list.
My advice. Don’t make lists.LikeLike
