[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The toddler years are super hard, and my DH and I were like this a lot. Lot of resentment and “bean counting” because it is exhausting. Our youngest is 5 and things are so much better now. [/quote] +100 this sounds like how I felt during the early toddler years. It gets starkly better around 3 1/2 in my experience, OP. Try not to see your DH as the enemy or the competition. Use some $$ for a sitter so you BOTH have kid-free time. And ignore the posters who are snarking at you for not wanting to be around your kid, etc. they clearly do not agree that the toddler years are brutal and it's ok to disagree. We are not meant to live like this in isolated cities away from extended family, so you need to try to replicate some of that dynamic -- make mom friends with similar aged kids so you can sit on a bench while they play together and have a conversation; find babysitters to give you a break...etc....etc. [/quote]
