My mom said she’d talked to my brother after Christmas dinner your time. Fortunately, the weather is reasonably temperate in Norfolk, so he didn’t have to stay indoors all the time with the four nieces-and-nephews under 4, including a 3-week-old baby.
My brother likes children more in the soccer-playing age. He always coached sports when he was in the military, even though he doesn’t have children of his own. He started coaching with his friends’ younger siblings when he was still in high school.
