[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is me now and I love it. Maybe it changes as kids get older though? Mine is only less than a year old [/quote]

It changes. Come back and report on your level of happiness from, say, age 20 months and 3 1/4.  :lol: [/quote]

Care to share how it changes? I had a very difficult 0-6 month old (woke up 4-6 times a night, napped only when held and only for 30 mins, fussy a lot) so I’m hoping that I’ve been through the worst somehow[/quote]

If it's the sleep that's hard for you, it will get better, unless or until you have more kids.

If you have more kids, which it sounds like OP does, they're not usually on the same schedule. That's how you end up with 14 hour days and no (not even 30 minute) breaks. One wakes earlier than the other, and one goes to bed later. If one is napping, the other/s are not, etc. If you put on TV, one will he occupied but probably not both for a meaningful enough stretch of time to do more than necessary cooking, etc.

Yeah, OP, it's hard and totally different than the situations where someone gets a short break in the evening or weekend. Your spouse needs to be helping to make that happen or you're going to burn out.[/quote]
