Had to chuckle when I read this thread, Pergs, because just prior I was playfully "making" my almost 13 YO son sit and listen to me tell him to maximize the gift God gave him of a sound mind. He has heard it all before, but out of respect he sat and listened again.

Soon enough you'll be desirous of more time with them, brother, so enjoy all you can now, but don't make an idol of it. The Lord will provide all the time and wisdom you need to properly care for the children He ordained to fill the quiver of two of His own. He is only always amazingly faithful.
