Absolutely. It's exhausting and you don't feel like yourself anymore.
Yes I feel like this often. It’s so hard.
@Lizzy it makes you miss the person you were or the life you had before kids.
@Kylee makes me want to rip my hair out
@Rema I feel like it gets worse as the days go on
Yeah I am coming to terms with what all being a momma means. No one can explain it or help you feel your way through it. It is just a learning process for you as well as your kids. Constantly growing into the parents we will become. It is okay to feel exhausted and done. There is no end for 18 + years. 😭
For sure. The toddler days are just never ending, it seems. Everything seems to become an argument and arguing with a toddler feels like a losing battle. I always remind myself that it won't be like this forever, they're still learning and this is a tough time developmentally but soon they'll be starting school and it won't be on you all day every day.
@Raquel yeah nobody tells you how hard it really is. I feel overly exhausted and I know I’m just getting started.
@Lizzy yes and then the constant talking to them, don’t do this, stop doing that. It really becomes a lot. My daughter likes to bite and pinch and I cannot stand it. I know they get out of these phases but it feels like they last forever.
The good thing is that you’ll hardly remember those days when they get out of that phase but it sucks when you’re in them. My husband is so sweet and tries to be so supportive but I still feel like it’s almost harder work when he’s around helping than not. But on the other hand it’s still nice to have any support at all when he is around rather than doing it alone all day cuz sometimes kids are just little clingy a-holes.
Yes😩 it’s so exhausting not to have a break
