feel like parenting is just so hard sometimes?  I find myself missing the infat days when life was a simple cycle of eating sleeping and pooping :)

Beautiful name you've got there  ;)

I feel your pain.  It is so hard sometimes.  Wonderful, but so hard.

it is hard!  I thought I missed the infant stage, till I had my 2nd baby, and that has really made me appreciate having a toddler who can tell me what's wrong and what she needs!

yeah i have my self bethany and it some times makes my scream so times but like we all know we wouldent give them up for nothing

Totally with you all.  I always think of a line from Terms of Endearment.  As hard as you think it is, you end up wishing it was that easy...

I love my 3yr old, but this is a rough stage for us.  I'm also a working mom and i'm constantly dealing with guilt, and fear that i'm somehow failing her.  It's downright scary at times...

Parenting is hard but I found it easier after taking some early childhood development classes. For younger ones who cant talk it is hard to know what they want (Try baby signs) and then you hit the toodler independance stage and you know they need your help but they screa. m to do it themselves. have them ask is if they need help and don't just do it especially if itmakes them upset. Trust me you might think you can when a fight with a toodler but trust me they always tend to get there way because all they want is a reaction whether good or bad. So pick your battles. Ask yourself if it is worth getting upset over.

I find it easier after some classes but we still have our moments LOL

i have a 5yr. old, an almost 3yr. old and one on the way. it's hard b/c the 5yr. old is really smart, it's like he's not my baby anymore, even though he forever will be, (saying things like his snack isn't healthy enough, and that he doesn't want to go to the mall b/c people smoke outside and it's going to end up killing him). my almost 3yr. old has learned so much from the older one (asking me why i'm so frustrated and when i call him he says,"give me a second, i'm doing something right now...") and i can't help but feel like my little babies are all grown up. bless them for the knowledge they posess, b/c that's what i've been trying to instill in them this whole time, i just feel like the time went by way too fast! it really excites me to be starting over! i can have a baby again!!!

and i would like to share this # i recently stumbled upon...
