[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]

Harder, physically, lack of sleep, worrying, stressing over everything, logistics, scheduling, keeping tabs on meals, appts, clothes, shoes, academics, friendships, trying to curate memories, social stress....

But I am an introvert who before kids stayed home, worked and did nothing much but shopped, ate out a lot, napped and did what I wanted all of the time.  So yes, compared to pre kids I think it's harder![/quote]

Another aspect is emotionally, I have one girl who has a huge emotional core inside of her. So when she lets it loose, it can effect me a lot. My other girl, is more logical and not as emotional and easier to be around. The fights, arguments and overall talking increases too if your in a family. I crave quiet and although have always loved chatting with friends now I seek quiet.[/quote]
