[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel this deeply. I have had to distance myself from some friends with only easy children because it is so frustrating to see them be unknowingly smug about their parenting. And also so unbelievably clueless about how much energy DH and I spend on our difficult kid. Its especially bad because we only have 1 so the assumption is that life is easier. I have a friend with 2 perfect kids and I just cant be as close to her as we were pre kids because she doesn't understand what im going through. It is somewhat freeing to realize that its fruitless to compare yourself, but I still crave empathy.[/quote]

Totally relate to this. Honestly now that I have a second child it's so freeing. My second baby had terrible reflux but was still so, so much easier than our first (and still is) and it was sad how much relief I felt. Of course people who have never experienced it say things about how much more relaxed you are /know what you're doing more with second children so they SEEM easier. Uh, no. [/quote]
