So when I first had my baby, it’s of course wonderful- but I think we’d all agree it’s hard work, not to mention the sleepless nights. My older female relatives often say “it gets easier”
Then you hit the toddler years imo definitely not easier!
Then you have all the hurdles with school stuff, homework, friendships, possible behavioural issues etc
Then it’s the teenage years which of course is a completely different kettle of fish!
Don’t get me wrong, I love my children very much, but I’m still waiting for it to “get easier!”
For me parenting doesn’t get easier, it just presents a different set of challenges for different stages in your child’s development- or is that just my experience? Does anyone agree with me or does it indeed get easier for some? I.e when they leave home?😂

AIBU?
To think when everyone says “It gets easier” it’s a big fat lie?
