[quote=Anonymous]I think yes of course that single parents have more time and money to devote to the kid and themselves than parents of multiples.

I have three and work full time and yeah I feel you. Chaos. But I feel like its a trade off. My life is chaos, and I'm basically sacrificing these 10 years to get them over the hump. Life is short but its not that short. I am getting all these other memories and moments and in a decade or so I'll be able to do all those things, I'll have more time than I know what to do with.

So I honestly just kind of intentionally focus on that. This is a season of life. It has hard parts and beautiful parts. And sometimes honestly the hard parts are WAY harder than the good parts. But it will pass, and so I try to hang onto the good, and do right by the future version of me that will wish I had been able to enjoy it more. Already with my 7 year old I feel like...did I miss out on treasuring her 5 year old ness? I feel like this wistful feeling will only continue to grow. [/quote]
