I can't tell you what a relief it's been to find this site. The first three years of dd16's life is now a blur. Dh has a very varied schedule and is often gone for days at a time. So I was on my own to run a business, tend acreage, animals and this beautiful child who wore us out.
Dd was very intense, didn't sleep through the night until she was 18 months old (neither did ds), would rarely nap but needed, demanded a ton of stimulation.
Other mother's made it seem s-o easy and here I was barely hanging on and thought it couldn't get much worse. And then we had ds12.
Do any of you remember how Costco used to stack up vitamin bottles under their shelves? Ds sent about 300 bottles rolling through the aisles - just to see how many he get rolling and in what direction. He was 2.
It's so, so much easier now that they are teenagers.
