[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When you become a parent you have to put your needs and wants in the backburner.  I thrive on sleeping 10 hours every night nd having all the free time in the world for my creative endeavors but with a toddler I accept it's not going to happen.  If I were you I would just deal with it and give your toddler the physical affection she craves otherwise risk having her feel rejected.  [/quote]

No. I did that for 2 years and became a bad mother because I was getting 4 hours of broken sleep a night and was horrifically sleep deprived and touched out. Balance is needed. Moms actually are people too. I don’t say that as a platitude. People have physical limits. Babies need healthy moms. Motherhood is a marathon, and if you have a super demanding baby and toddler and you treat the ultra demanding years like a sprint you need to just grit and endure, if can really negatively affect your family.

Balance is so important. You have to recognize your limits and say no sometimes even when it’s their legitimate needs against yours.[/quote]
