Do you find that parenting is a very stressful job?

Being a parents i think its a responsibility matters to do. Don't put your self and get buried for that stressful job. It is not actually a stressfully things to do you know. The problem is, maybe you are not getting used to fell the experience of beong a parents. You still could have your free time online when your son are sleeping. Just turn your activity clock myfb2009.

welcome to parneting.. lol. having to find things to keep him busy is the thing. like i know my grandsons, neices and nephews love watch show for kids, they will sit for hours in front of the tv. but enjoy it now, because one day your song will be 13, then 18, then 20 and all grown up with his own family

We have two kids and my wife take care of them and i find time to be with them on only sundays and even though she never say a word on this till now and she enjoys all the things that kids do and what i think parenting is not a stressful but a tough jod to do for this one should be more patience with the kids and with their activities.

It is the most important job in the world! It's a shock to the system when you have been used to plenty of time for yourself and a tidy house! My little one is seven and I'm trying to work from home which is not too bad while she's at school, but when she comes home it is a struggle to finish my work for the day. It's school holidays here in Australia at the moment and as you can imagine here I am attempting to work with a child that needs to be entertained, it's near on impossible! When you have kids planning your days is futile and having a clean house is a thing of the past so don't fight it and relish the joyful moments because there are a lot of those too!

I think not.I like to take care a baby.I think it is fun.

parenting is always stressful, for both parents, but I think it's worse for the mom. I used to be a stay at home mom, and I did all the housework, and took care of the kids. After all, my husband was out making a living all day right? well now I am a full-time employed mom, and most of the housework and child care is still left up to me. I take my oldest to school at 6:30 every morning, drive my younger two to daycare over 30 miles away, then drive myself to work, work all day, go pick up littler two, pick up older daughter, go home, do homework, housework, dinner, bath books, bed and if there is time left in the day I take a shower or brush my hair. but that's life. Mothering is always hard. I told my husband the other day, we both were sick, he spent the entire Saturday on the couch complaining and in pain, ect. and of course I was up, taking care of the kids, and I told him, I don't have time to be sick. he knows he can chill on the couch, nap, be sick, whatever, and I will take care of the kids no matter how sick I am because I have to. I don't have anyone to take over for me, if I'm sick I'm still Mom. that's the way it is. I just try to squeeze in a little me time here and there for my own sanity. I took off the other day to "run errands" and sat in my car for like 15 minutes, just listening to the peace and quiet. then when I got home I was more relaxed and ready to get back to being a mom. It is tough, but hang in there, because it is so worth it. :) :)

Well about a year ago I went from having no kids, a quiet,clean house and no stress to having my nine year old stepson living with me. It's definitely more stressful and it's important to get some me time or I feel like I'm going insane. There are good moments too though. :)

yeah parenting is very hard job actually. ive just realized it also now, that im having two kids and fully a mother to them, i mean im a plain mom, im just doing some business also, but of course being a singlemother is a tough job either. its hard to explain things to them especially to my eldest son, he is now 14 years of age, and hes kinda hardheaded boy, but im trying to practice my patience for him. hehehhee

Yes when you decide to become a parent it is a full time job. I had 8 children and it was very stressful at times, but it was also very rewarding. right now my kids are 36 to 18 (My baby turned 18 today). At times it will seam like you do not have any time for yourself, but as time goes on you will discover that you will work it out. and for now because your child is so young you will be glad later on that you did spend all this time with him. so for now forget about your free time, and enjoy every moment that you can with your son, because he will grow up, and that time will be gone., and just be happy with what little time you have for yourself now.

having children will definately take all your time and energy! unless you have a lot of help.. i never did, so i can tire pretty easily. your life will never be the same again, you are no longer able to concentrate on just yourself anymore, you have so many more other responsibilities. you just have to remember that you need attention too. you need breaks! and time to yourself! if you do not get enough breaks, or help, you may find yourself stressed out beyond words, and not having enough energy for ANYTHING. so please, get a babysitter from time to time :) and go have some fun!
