I think some just cope with parenthood better than others. Some take the feeling of bone deep mental and physical exhaustion and wonder “why/what the fuck was I thinking”. They just see all they are missing or regret not doing before. Others get that feeling and feel a deep satisfaction knowing it is a sign they are doing right for their kid. It completes them in a way that is inexplicable for those who don’t.

Not sure if that added anything or not but I felt it needed saying.

When the sleep sucks, everything else is worst for it.

I love my kids and I feel a great satisfaction raising them, but my tank is always running empty.

I think that parents are better at different stages of parenthood, and for me, between 9 months and 18 months is the fucking worst.

Some kids are definitely easier than others too. Both my kids wouldn’t sleep for more than 90 minutes at a time until they were a few years old; and when they were awake they would demand attention; like most kids that age who are awake do.
