[quote=Anonymous]First of all, I have to really wrack my brain to remember what it was like to be pre-kids and my oldest is only four. I am outgoing but behind that use to be a ton of self-doubt and social anxiety. As a mom, a lot of that has dissipated and I am much more confident on a day-to-day basis. I guess I have less mental space for it, plus I have two little people who think I am a hero, so I better believe it myself. Similarly, non-kid stress like work, friend stuff, even family drama just doesn't bother me as much. It still registers, but I have an easier time taking a step back and saying, "That's not for me." I am freaked out by the passage of time more than I ever was. I remember vividly bathing my oldest as a newborn and realizing that in a few short years she would be able to do all of these things herself. And I am tired in my bones. [/quote]
