It is hard because it's hard. You're not alone. And I thought it would absolutely never get easier, but it has, a little bit.

I felt this in my bones.

Little kids are physically and emotionally draining. I distinctly remember the day my son reached across the table to plate his own food and I gave a silent “alleluia!”.

Then they get a bit easier for a while. Then they turn into teenagers and the emotionally hard is all consuming.

The days are long but the years are short. That is true when you look back, but doesn’t feel like it when you’re neck deep in child raising.

Right now I feel like I’m failing more than succeeding with the emotionally charged teenage terrorists! 😂🫣

Lean into your support network and verbally tell those negative thoughts to scram.
