[quote=Anonymous]The years may be short but the nights are long. I'm also the PP for marathon v sprint. The PP who explained it did a good job - what I mean is that there's gonna be years when it's great and easy and others that are so hard. Days of guilt where you'll forget dropping them to an activity or class, you'll end up disappointing them, etc. days you'll beat yourself up. There will be other days your kid is damned lucky to have you be their parent. What I mean is to remember that it doesn't go by that fast nor that slow. There's just different stages is all. It's a lot of years that kid us gonna be yours so you want to forgive yourself for all the times you had a parent fail and be kind to yourself in between and not least of all be proud. What I mean ya that nobody tells you about all the bad stuff and focuses on the years post baby. But it's important to remember that it's not about how easy your baby is (if a good or bad sleeper),etc. it's thinking long term. They can do great in 2nd grade and mess up in 6th or vice versa. So you really have to approach parenthood as a marathon. It's easy to forget though - no joke![/quote]
