What is the hardest part about being a mommy?



For me the hardest part is trying to balance my time between my 3 year old and my 3 month old. I feel like I spend so much time taking care of Jacob, my newborn, that I don't have the time to spend with Jackson, my 3 year old. When Jacob is taking a nap, I try to spend time with Jackson but I still don't feel like it is enough. It is also pretty hard not getting the sleep I need. Jacob is still not sleeping that great.

The hardest part is doing so much of it alone. With DH working and not having a lot of family that doesn't make much time for me to do things for myself. And even when the kids are in bed I can't just go do all the things I need or want to because nobody is here.

One really hard thing is not being able to see my mother with my babies. It's heart breaking that they will never know her.

Probably what you said Melissa, balancing the time between the two. Also, im a worrier by nature so worrying about them is hard too.

1st thing is not having help right now. And not to mention watching dh cry because he can't be here watching her grow up. The second thing is the fact she doesn't nap during the day. I can't clean, do laundry, really nothing. I have to beg my mom to watch her.

The hardest part for me is not being able to have my mom with me to spend time with the kids. She passed away in January and Allison will talk about her and I start to cry

I'm the opposite of most people, I feel bad for JR because he's so much easier than Allison so he gets short changed with my time when I have deal with her!

Keeping my patience when I am tired and run down, especially now that there are two of them who need my attention.
