[quote=Anonymous]We just had our third. My first was “easy” and second was super hard. We have and had a nanny since the first was born. I was in school and was not able to take a semester (or any time) off so basically I never spent more than the first 10 days 24/7 with a baby until now with my third. I am not working at the moment, school is over and I am just taking care of the baby since the older two are in school and have a nanny. I have to say the newborn stage is easy and hard at the same time. It sure is boring and my least favorite stage, but while it’s hard on your sleep, it’s very easy in every other way. I need half a brain to be with baby, but need to focus and think to be with my older kids. I can basically lay down in best most of the day with baby, I am always running around with my older kids. I guess for me the reason why the baby stage is the worst (I have only gone up to early elementary) it’s because baby is not comunicative at all. He does not smile, interact, play, nothing so I feel that there is only work and no “reward”. My older kids my drive me mad (often) but they do something, really smart or funny or they hug me or tell me that they love me and I forget how upset I was at them 5 minutes before. The best thing baby can do is not cry, eat and sleep... at least for now[/quote]
