Oh Sasha, you are so right! And guess what. Once it starts, there. is. no. vacation. That’s it. For the rest of your life that little being is priority numero uno. It sounds nice, but the mental exhaustion of it is immense. Like you twittered (tweeted?), it’s a good thing that they are so cute, cause sometimes it would be nice just to bail. Can you tell that I am in a hard period with my almost-six-year-old?

yes, that is correct, Melle. When they enter 2 and 3 year old stage it becomes a challenge. Trying to get them to bed, constant energy and the “I do” stage ( they constantly have to do it by themselves). I have a 3 year old at home now that wears me out and everybody I talk to say that their three year old does the same things.

Oh Evil- Melle is right babies aren’t the hard part, its when they turn into toddlers! I don’t have kids but was a preschool teacher for 2 years. I had 10, yes 10, 2 year olds. I loved them but they wore my ass out. Work was usually always fun, where else can you draw, paint, & color all day & get paid for it? But when they were bad, they were bad! And when one got sick they all got sick so that was hard too, but I loved them all & still miss them!

Being a mum I agree that babies are hard work. However when they start to walk and talk..that is really when they become exhausting! :)

I am a nanny 2-4 days a week and I make GREAT money doing it but it is soo exhausting. I have to not only worry about myself but the emotional and physical well being of the children I am watching. I have been watching one little girl since she was 8 months and she is two now, thats my constant position but on the weekends I watch anywhere from 1-4 kids varying from weeks old-5, sometimes all at once. Its rough but I do love it.

I may try this whole vegan thing and see how I feel. We will see. =)
