[quote=Anonymous]Oh dude.  So much of the first few years suck so bad.  I thought I would have an easy, non-medicated vaginal birth because that is what my mom did.  Nope.  Emergency c-section.  Thought I would breastfeed exclusively.  Nope.  Turns out I am medically unable to produce breast milk.  Thought I would lose the baby weight with breast feeding.  Nope.  And pregnancy spun my body into hypothyroidism which took me 7 years to figure out.  Yup.  Awesome.  And then you add in all the rest of it.  If it isn't one thing, it's another.  For me, I would say 3 months through 18 months were smooth sailing.  We got our routine down and we did well.  Once we hit 18 months, the terrible twos started.  I'm so lucky.  Mine is advanced.  From 18 months to about 3.5 were horrible.  Toddlerhood and preschool years are the WORST part of childhood for me so far as a mother.  Once we pushed through to the other side of the 3s for us, motherhood became a joy.  And we had smoothing sailing until the onset of the tween years.  Navigating those now, but they are nothing compared to the horror of the 2s and 3s.[/quote]
