Anyone with more than one kid is a "pro" in my book. I never really considered it truly fun until right about now at 8 and 10. It is fun because they can finally do things I can personally enjoy... not just enjoy because I am doing them as their father. For example.... no adult enjoys playing the Life board game, but I can enjoy playing checkers or chess. Or finally reading and watching real movies. Right now, all 3 of us reading the Harry Potter series and then watching the movie afterwards. I just know the teen years are coming like a speeding bullet... and that does make me happy.
Um, check back when they're teenagers and let us know what you think of the fun. ;) I hope for your sake you miss all that isn't fun. Lying and and self-absorption would top my lists. Oh, and manipulatively playing one parent off on another in a divorce situation.
Just forewarning that things can get bit complicated when they hit their teens.
