[quote=Anonymous]I remember waking up one morning and thinking, "ok, only 16 more hours until my kids are asleep." Seriously. You are in a very hard time! I hated people who said to me to cherish every second when I was tired, dirty, and stretched to my limit. It is freaking hard!! And not fun most of the time! My kids are now 10, 12, and 14 and super super fun. We bike and hike together and I have hilarious and thoughtful conversations with them. It's true that they don't snuggle with me anymore, and the 14 year old spends most of his time in his room or with his friends, but they are the same sweet children I hugged and lugged around. I just don't have to wipe their butts anymore. You WILL get to this stage OP, I promise. It all gets better when the youngest gets to around 4 or 5.

To answer your question, I miss the cuddles in bed the most and carrying them in the ergo, and going to the park in our BoB double stroller. All the morning and afternoon adventures we had before and after naps. When the three of us do something without DH nowadays, it reminds me of the old days when I had them to myself when I was a SAHM.

Hang in there OP! The days are long but the years are short indeed!!![/quote]
