I have no idea if I'm in the correct part of the forum so apologies if I'm not.
I have a toddler. She's 18 months. I have two more children who are both 13 & 14. So quite an age gap.
From memory I loved having the other two little. I'm sure there was times it was hard but I can remember mostly joy even with a small age gap.
This time is different. I adore my toddler. She's gorgeous, funny, playful and sleeps through the night. She's also very demanding, argumentative and will have a his system fit over anything and scream.
I'm just not enjoying it as I thought I would. I know I'm not depressed. I'm currently a stay at home mother. This won't change until she's in full time school. We have no option on this. My H is amazing with her but works long hours and shifts. On the whole I couldn't ask for anymore support. But by god it's brain numbing.
I have to admit, while I'd never want to change we have her, I do miss how easy our life once was.
Does anyone else feel like this?
