Tired

Why is it that the Exhaustion Fairy arrives for the parents, but not for the children?

Because the exhaustion fairy is actually the energy redistribution fairy, and the energy they extract from the parents (which they can deal with after many years of pushing their exhaustion barriers by staying up late reading books on a school/work night) is passed over to the children.
