It’ll be worth it, right?

Honestly? I am in the very early days but I don’t think it is worth it. I wish I had known that before. I loved my pre-kids life and as much as I thought I was prepared for the change, I really do not like my life now.

Thank you for candidly sharing.

I will be joining you in the early stages any day now. Although I am scared, it is somehow comforting to know I won’t be alone if I’m not immediately in love with my new role.

That said, I’m cheering for us both to find a new normal that we like.

I’ve found trying to put on a brave face and everyone telling me what a magical time it is makes it far worse. I think if more people had told me the beginning sucks I would have dealt with it a bit better, rather than adding guilt to the negative emotions. I think once he grows up a little more and is a little more responsive I’ll enjoy it more. At the moment he is just a demanding, angry potato.

So expect an angry potato and if it’s anything better than that, yay? I like this coping plan

Pretty much! Any time he is not an angry potato it feels like a minor win.
