I always thought that if I had kids it would be so ffreaking easy,lol what a joke.Im sitting here slowly going crazy everyday.My daughter is so spoiled the only break I get is at night when her daddy is off and takes over.By then Im pooped,and there is still dinner to make,clothes to wash,dishes to wash,uniforms to iron and the list goes on and on.I never imagined raising a child could be so exhausting.I couldnt imagine doing it when I was older cause now Im still young and shes wearing me out.When I had my other kids I was still working so they were in daycare and at night they were tired and didnt give us any problem,not Kelsie though shes a little devil.

Lol. I knew it would not be easy. I'm staying at home now and it seems my third is harder to deal with then my first two. I wonder why that is? anyway good luck hope you can balance it out soon. At least your husband is there to help you and thats good.

I never thought it would be easy. I always knew that being a parent would be hard, but I never thought it would be THIS hard! I figured, "Hey, I'm the oldest of eight kids myself, I practically helped raise my siblings. I know it will be hard at times, but I can handle this!" And then Miss Maddie arrives and the whole world is turned upside down. Before I had her, I never had to go three days without more than two hours of sleep because the baby was sick and inconsolable. I never had to wake up and find myself covered in puke and baby poop. I never had to give a baby so many baths in one evening or listen to them crying with seemingly no reason. I never had to stop myself from crying when I saw a baby getting shots. My whole world is changed and as hard as it is, I would never trade it for anything.

When I was a kid I sure thought having kids would be so easy. Like having a big doll. I know what you are saying and know how you feel. It's a tough job.
We have three daughters. It was the most difficult job I've ever tackled. Someone in the house always had pms as they were older and it wasn't my husband...lol Our girls, their friends, the phones, the doorbell, the loud televisions and the nagging and whining about wanting me to take them somewhere. It was always hectic and very busy at our house. They are grown now, married and it's quiet around the house. I miss the noise and daily
excitement.
I've had jobs that were difficult but none as difficult as raising our girls. Looking back, it was the most rewarding experience. We took three little kiddies and raised them into very functioning, career oriented adults. I am so proud and very excited when I get the chance to be with them. How times change.
Enjoy your little one. I know it's very time consuming and tiring but you will be so proud one day.
