Albert is finding it hard to have control of the kids alone, especially since he's not in the best emotional state himself. He's lost count of how many "oops, where are the kids now"-moments he has during a day.

He can't really get himself to be strict with them, though.
He tries his best to comfort them when they're in distress, which is quite often nowadays. But sometimes they're just as hard to comfort as himself.

"Me too, darling"
"How about this: I make all your favorite foods for your birthday next week and we celebrate it in that park you like so much. Mom will be there, I promise."
