Parenting baby and young kids so hard!

[Cloud9889]

I’m starting to wonder if it’s me that is the actual problem here. I’ve not enjoyed babies and (I have 3 boys ages 6 down to 7 months). I do everything I believe my boys deserve like singing to them , cuddles and kisses but my god they have been such hard work . Now I’m on number three it’s the same hard work I’m wondering if it’s just me and not the babies IYSWIM!
I’ve always wanted kids but kids not babies if that makes sense so maybe that is why I’m finding the early stages so hard?? Not really sure what I’m looking for but up again with youngest and feeling the need to share how hard I find parenting. I feel like I should be enjoying it more!

I have two boys aged 5 and 2.
I am exhausted all the time and it really IS hard work!!!

You’re doing nothing wrong OP - dealing with children is difficult!!

Thanks I just wish they ( especially the middle one!) were easier sometimes !

I also completely understand where you are coming from. I have three kids, eldest DS has just turned 8, DD who is 3 and youngest DS who is 3months. I'm exhausted and feel much more overwhelmed this time. My middle DC is challenging too, she tantrums/cries lots about small things and is very defiant. It makes trying to look after the baby much harder and I often find I'm stressed and tired and just needing a break. I'm always rushing around and find myself being envious of my DH as he has much more freedom than me because I breastfeed. I love my kids so much I really do, but can echo the feeling of being worn out from he hard work side of it all.
It will get easier though, and one day I'm sure we'll look back at these days and wish they were little again!
