[quote=Anonymous]You know what, some people would be stressed being a surgeon all day and some people love it. Some would be a nervous wreck policing and some would thrive. Some people would hate sitting at a desk doing paperwork and some wouldn’t. For some, their personal idea of hell would be listening to other people’s problems all day. For others this is a soul calling. Childcare is a kind of labor that involves certain activities, skills, and dispositions. It’s not for everyone, especially not round the clock, especially not at ages that require constant vigilance. I have a child that age and the room could be totally childproof — she’d find a way to break something, climb on it, and dive out the window. Eldest was the opposite, cautious and loved books and puzzles. If you have an easy kid or an easy time with the day in day out routine of caregiving, good for you. OP it sounds like that isn’t your situation. I would pay for breaks, take care of your mental health. Take responsibility for you and know that your happiness is important to your capacity to mother.
