[quote=Anonymous]Harder than I thought: - Finding reliable childcare - Postpartum stuff (I had PPD, but just this whole genre of hormones/breastfeeding/birth recovery, I had a tough time) - How much time and effort I have to put into feeding children, holy crap Easier than I thought: - Caring for/entertaining a baby and toddler - All the school stuff. We're mid-elementary now and maybe we're lucky with our school but this stuff has been fairly straightforward. - Travel with kids - Giving up pre-kids life to focus on family -- I thought this would be really hard but turns out I really like my kids and love spending time with them and it's not been that big of a deal to trade concerts and bars and brunch for story times and family playdates and early dinners at family-friendly restaurants About what I thought: - Potty training/weaning/sleep stuff -- all the stuff that you get so much advice on. It's not effortless but it's not rocket science either.[/quote]
