Exhausted
I have 3 children. The oldest 8 and the youngest 5.
I never thought being a parent would be so exhausting... slowly but surely it rips every ounce of life in you. when you decide to have a baby... you never know what you're gonna get. Some parents are fortunate to have children that are calm in nature, have similar Interests to one another and are happy to go along with anything. Some parents are not so lucky and are blessed with 3 children that all have different interests, different personalities, different wants and needs and you are one parent splitting yourself 3 ways each day and only to be told in action by your kids that it's never enough. They always want more and more. Never thankful, never grateful, fight with each other, argue with you and always want more... etc.
Those who judge other parents for not having the "the right attitude" live in a very small bubble and have no empathy for others. They may have never experienced hardship in their lives. While children are a blessing, whether you like it or not, they change your life forever... sometimes for the better and sometimes not so much.
I absolutely love my children, but I absolutely hate what my life has become as a result of having had them. It's an exhausting journey, filled with some great times, but also filled with an enormous about of anger, frustration, sadness, emptiness, loneliness, financial stresses... and the list goes on. In time as they get older I'm sure it will get better... but in the moment, it feels as though it's too hard a feat. I live each day trying to get through it...
You're entitled to your own opinion, like everyone else. But that doesn't mean your opinion is fully accurate and it doesn't mean everyone is going to agree with it.
Something that is accurate and factual is: In life there isn't any guarantees, with anything. Remember that and you'll be on the right track. Don't assume and presume everything, you're one person and your opinions whether based on facts or assumptions, don't account for the majority of individual view points. You aren't a spokesperson for anyone, but yourself.
God bless you x
Stow the passive-aggressive god **, sweetheart. That person spoke truth. Have the maturity to hear it.
