I get it, it's the reason we're here, but I'm only about 6 months in and have no idea how ppl have multiple kids. Maybe it's just the baby phase idk and maybe it's bc my kid is impossible, never ever sleeps.

Don't you just love the parents that brag "we just have the easiest and best baby ever"? Yeah screw yall.

Rant over. I feel .00001% better.

Kid is probably teething. Give him some bourbon on the gums and then pour yourself a glass

These are the easiest times. You'll look back on this fondly when they're raising hell in third grade, when they're coming home at all hours as teenagers, when they're changing their major for the fourth time, when they're moving back in with you after their divorce.

Sure, especially if their names are Lyle and Erik.

It's true that it doesn't get easier, but it does get different (I've only gotten to age 9). The sleeping thing will definitely get better, so at least you'll be rested.

I think they get a lot more fun once they get to be 3-4 and older. That's makes up for the hassle.

Quit being a bunch of whining bitches. Take care of your children and stfu. When you are old AF, those children will be the ones that come visit your old, boring arse

My oldest two are okay but I think my youngest is on an active campaign to give me a heart attack.

It will get better. But you'll never sleep the same again. Mine are both grown, and I still lose sleep over them.

"It's the reason we're here"

If that's why you chose to have kids then you're already doing it wrong champ.

But yes, I do believe kids age you.

I just turned 50 and no one believes my age. Most people guess my age to be mid to late 30's.

I've got good genetics going for me in that both my parents are really young looking and active for their age.

I don't smoke and I eat right and exercise and that helps as well.

But I think my main thing is that my wife and I don't have kids. Worry and stress are silent killers man.

i would put tubes in for sure, made my life wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy easier. I have two boys and i mean no1 says it's easy but it's definitely worth it. Once you get to the 6 month mark, it's easier and easier by the day. First kid is obviously the hardest because you're LEARNING EVERY THING. My second kid sleeps much less than the first but easier because he's #2

So you are at the easy stage . The " entitlement stage" is when the real joy begins. Not to mention the "your room smells like a butt festival" stage or the " where the frick are my tools" stage.

If people survived POW camps and German concentration camps to their 80s, you can survive raising kid. Stop being a little bitch.
