Anyone else feel like the stress of life interferes with enjoying baby/ kids?

@Jess exactly, It's a lot to carry, these moments are flying by and I hope to try to embrace it all a little more somehow. I hope that for us all 🙏And same on birthdays and events, I'm planning two right now and present shopping, trying to figure out how I'm going to bake this cake and keep baby happy at the same time 🤷♀️🤦♀️I feel like doing things on my own contributes to how hard of a time I'm having. I've just got to start enjoying things again it's so important but even knowing how imp that is is stressful 🙃
I heard someone say that parenthood isn't difficult. It's all the other stuff that goes along with it that's hard. I hear you. I'm 100% there with you. There are times I say F everything and order doordash on a credit card, leave the dishes in the sink and put a comforter on the floor and we have a floor Pinic with no electronics. And those are the times that my girls are the happiest. It's a reset for all of us. Sometimes, it's charcuterie boards with PB&J and dino nuggets, and sometimes I pack a while lunch bag in Tupperware with napkins, drinks, sandwiches, and cookies and we can't leave the blanket except for the potty. But I also log back on my computer and work until midnight after they sleep - balance, I guess.
@Anjali yes that sounds nice. I think it's just so overwhelming. I remember when I was a kid I thought having some responsibilities would be fun. Now my plate is just overflowing with them
Yep having to remember everything...thinking of bills that need paying, birthdays coming up. Eldest has a dance show which is more money and getting costumes ready. Youngest is teething and starting to get her little character. I'm exhausted. Feel guilty I'm doing as much as I wanted with the girls half thr year has gone and feel like I've wasted it. Wish I could just be the fun relaxed mum 😌
