DS is 6 months. He's bloody hard work at the moment - grizzly and not sleeping, wants to be entertained all the time. I'm an introvert so not having time to myself has been the hardest part for me about becoming a mum.
My DM who I'm really close to is lovely and very supportive but she had 3 of us and she is constantly telling me I won't have a minute to myself for years and you never do when you have kids etc etc etc. As do many other parents I know.
It's seriously putting me off wanting any more (well that and a shitty traumatic birth). I'm not going back to work (my choice) but will do some freelance stuff from home when DS is a little bigger.
So is that? Is my life over and I'm basically just Mum now? AIBU to think I can still have a child and a life of my own???
