[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a bio kid and love him to pieces, but I often am so tired from being a parent. I think I put too much burden on myself too often - I breastfed until three, I didn't do any sleep training, I didn't work FT since he was born, I didn't put him in daycare until three, etc. I just couldn't do it differently, I probably wouldn't change a thing, but it is such a drag, I am tired of parenting. I like co sleeping and taking my kid places, but that's about it. The rest is boring and meaningless.

I often think that maybe I would have been better off adopting- I would have FF, sleep trained,  hired a nanny and gone back to work. This is what I secretly want to do- spend maybe an hour or two a day with my child and outsource the rest. But I just can't do this to him, he needs his mom :(

Sorry to hear that you're clearly struggling. I hope you get some relief soon.

I should note, though, that just because you adopt, doesn't mean you can automatically sleep train.  In fact, our agency explicitly warned us against doing training for our older infant, so we didn't.  I did, however, sleep train my bio child  :wink:[/quote]
