[quote=Anonymous]OP, I could have been you.  Then my son turned 2, and oh my gosh, it's like I reached the end of a tunnel.  A very long, very stressful tunnel with lots of arguing and resentment and depression.

To get through those 2 years, there was lots of therapy, drugs, and ditching the baby with daddy and escaping for my old passions (I took a week's vacation with a girlfriend, would schedule one or two Saturdays a month to divulge in my hobby, picked one night a week that I stayed at work late and DH did pick up dinner/bed).

I was shocked to find that I wasn't a baby person at all, and that I really hated being a mother to an infant.  I resented DH for pushing me to have a child, and it really chipped away at our marriage.

Now though?  At 2, DS is a little person rather than a baby.  We can DO things together, instead of just me keep him alive.  Our family time is enjoyable again, instead of a chore.  I still am not willing to go through those first 2 years again (despite thinking we would have multiple children), but I no longer see my marriage/family as a trapping.[/quote]
