[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m wondering if other moms feel this way? I love my daughter to death and she was extremely wanted and planned (IVF baby), but I find motherhood more challenging than I ever could have fathomed. I thought I knew what motherhood entailed going into it, but now I feel like I was so naive. The physical and mental demands are relentless. My baby is 9 months old. I still feel like I haven’t 100% adjustment to my new life. Does it get easier? [/quote]

It gets easier at phases. But then it gets even harder. The teen years can be gut wrenching and parenting young adults is the hardest bit.[/quote]

PP. agree there were challenging and easier phases.  I’m finding teen 16 to be easiest so far. My child is mostly lovely and self directed with me as guard rails.    And it’s still hard.  DC has learning disability and chronic life threatening medical illness that requires 24/7 engagement (medically).

They also walked at 8 months and were running at 9 mo.  I remember crying to my ped saying I feel like I don’t have a baby and she said you don’t, you have a toddler.

How are the young adult years hardest for you? [/quote]
