We don't say anything because what kind of mother would we be? You're right, there are many moments that are wonderful, but my overall memory is fatigue, stress, tears, and anxiety. And still, we wouldn't trade it, would we? I agree though, I LOVE my kids as they get older. They are finally starting to get my sarcasm and use it back! Yeah!!Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03621642738507969116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4851278903741496908.post-45171419744530298162010-06-04T20:23:34.713-04:002010-06-04T20:23:34.713-04:00I love, love, love this post, Rachel!

I felt so much of those same feelings (well, not the fear of mood swings/depression because I didn't expect that) but a lot of the rest. Thanks for this honest, heartfelt post. I too, wanted to roll my eyes when all these people kept telling me, "Oh, honey, this is the best time of your life." Really? When I'm getting five hours of broken sleep a night and being alternately peed on and puked on? Yes, there were some beautiful, perfect moments when my little guy was tiny but I enjoy him much more as he gets older. All of this is to say, I can relate, sistah!Joy Choquettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13704641909358172763noreply@blogger.com
