The children's nights
3 rows. A group is the level between a category and a task: one thing a person could hand over whole, split into the rows it actually takes. The app shows groups collapsed and lets you answer at either level.
| Task | How often | Minutes | Takes out of you | Sits in your mind | Breaks your day | The doing | The carrying |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Get up in the night to settle a child | every weekday | 25 | draining | a passing thought | the day bends round it | 3.10 | 0.71 |
| why ANCHOR — disruption 5, the ceiling. Interrupted sleep is the definition of a broken day. Vigilance 2: you are not carrying it between occurrences, you are being woken by it. | |||||||
| Get up for a child who wakes, gets out of bed or has a bad dream | four times a week | 15 | draining | a passing thought | the day bends round it | 1.49 | 0.66 |
| why Library v2: merged with the bad-dreams row (D-162, too fine to tell apart at 2am). Frequency 4/wk and 15 minutes, under the two rows' 5/wk; energy the higher of the two. | |||||||
| Clean up after a child throws up in the night | three times a year | 45 | wipes you out | gone once done | the day bends round it | 0.07 | 0.09 |
| why ANCHOR — energy 5, and the load-bearing test of whether the library kept faith with the removed `ick` dimension (MENTAL_LOAD_MODEL §2 archive note). Physically and emotionally draining, at the worst possible hour, with no warning. Vigilance 1: it does not sit in anyone's mind in advance. | |||||||
Which households get these
A new household is seeded from its own answers, so most of these rows only appear where they apply.
- Clean up after a child throws up in the night — households with a child under 13
- Get up for a child who wakes, gets out of bed or has a bad dream — households with a child aged 2 to 10
- Get up in the night to settle a child — households with a child under 4
Something missing, or something weighted wrong?
This is the part of Champignon that is genuinely unfinished, and the part a person outside this household can fix. Two routes, neither of which needs an account:
- Something we don't have — a task you do that isn't listed here.
- A weight that looks wrong — tell us which row, and what it should sit above or below. A comparison is actionable; feels wrong on its own isn't.
What happens next, and how a weight actually changes, is on Contribute.
