    “It gets easier”.

    Yeah, I know, but that doesn’t change the fact that it’s hard right now and the future being whatever doesn’t help. The challenges keep shifting constantly so that just when I feel like I have things figured out I’m faced with entirely new stuff to create solutions and strategize for. It also doesn’t help because we’re planning on having another one! So even if things get easier with kiddo one, we will be right back to the starting line with kiddo two. I know how tempting it is to say it but I’m tired of hearing it.

      Yep, youve got an ever changing situation that there’s no manual for and its hard. You’re dealing with now not a few years from now AND youll be back to the start with child 2. It’s kinda dismissive, and it’s not nice being dismissed.
