I hope this doesn't sound too negative but it does help to share - what are the things that you find some of the hardest to cope with ? (ds is 14 mths) For me...nappy changes when he twists, turns and cries, when he's not content to sit still in the trolley for just 10 more minutes while you are waiting in the queue at the grocery store, when dh comes home and doesn't think to say 'how can I help?", when he plays rough and I automatically conclude he's going to be the class bully when he's older, when he gets all clingy and agitated when guests are over (most probably because I am a bit agitated admittedly!!), when you've FINALLY got him to sleep for a daily nap and the door bell rings and then he awakes, when dh has gone out for a 'boys night out' and you've just sat down with a glass of wine and HE AWAKES!!! Is it just me??? I do feel rather guilty sending this post as I know there are many of you with 2, 3 and 4 young ones.

Just read the whole of this thread & realised how much easier life is with teenagers (despite the fact that DS2&3 are upstairs banging around in the livingroom & I can't be bothered to shriek "what are you doing?" as I've done every day this week.) DS1 has just made me a cup of tea having taken the dog out for me.... This has been a lovely reminder of why I really really DON'T want another baby.... (note to self to save thread...)
