My little boy (18 months) was unplanned and I didn't really ever vision myself as a mother. I'm not someone who naturally loves babies and small children. Actually I feel quite awkward and uncomfortable when around them (and having to say awww and ask about them!)
Obviously, he is the light of mine and DH lives, everything I do I do for him. He's funny, caring, and has so loving. However I just don't enjoy motherhood. I hate the lack of sleep, the tandtrims, the never being able to do things, the step back I've had to take in my career, the trying to figure things out.
All I ever hear anybody talk about is making the most of the baby years- but I just can't wait for him to be a little bit older. So we can have a conversation, go to a theme park, even just go to a park without a tantrum because he wants to get in someone else's pushchair!
I guess I'm just looking to see if anyone else felt like this? If anybody disliked the baby and toddler years but enjoyed childhood?
