Nothing really HARD per-say but I was shocked by how much guilt I feel when I don't get things quite right or he hurts himself etc...

I agree the health decisions are tough. You never really know if you are doing the right thing. The mommy guilt is something I was never really prepared for. Trying to find a balance between family/work/chores etc is also hard.

The hardest part is just the responsibility for another life, making all the decisions for them and hoping it all turns out ok.

The hardest part for me was changing my thinking on parenting. I wasn't expecting a child with special needs and needed to completely re-educated myself. But it was totally worth it. The lack of sleep sucks more than I thought it would lol

For me it's that I have to think about someone else before myself...like instead of being free to get a job, go to graduate school, take up a new hobby, see friends, etc...now there are so many calculations that have to go into each decision and if I do something for "myself" like go to work or go to graduate school I have to depend on someone else to watch Aboudi, which I don't like. Don't get me wrong, I love, love, love, love being a mom....

Hmm. Honestly? Going from 1 easy going, awesome kid to having THREE kids overnight-and the newest ones having issues I never had to deal with (heart defect, GI issues, not sleeping, etc..)
I too struggle daily with worry that I'm not a good enough mother.

Having to let my control over things go a little. I hate the idea of Cory taking Nicholas back to Ontario by himself to see his family for many reasons. Honestly, I liked it better when I was a single parent (with my oldest) and I was the only one who got to make the decisions.

For me it has been having all the pressures of doing things perfect for them. As someone in the early childhood education field I recognize the impact of the first 3 years on a child's whole life.
Also making important decisions that directly effect them such as vaccinations, giving Leila a little brother, and even where we live.
