Balance - trying to do right by my husband, my kids, my job, and myself. Although give it a year and I think I'll be much better - house will be standing perfectly straight again (yay!), I will either have a job or won't (so I'll either feel more secure in my job, or will be a SAHM), and my kids will be a bit older and we'll be able to do more things together when Dh is away (atm it's hard to juggle 2 kids with a lot of activities by myself).]]> Thu, 18 Aug 2011 21:54:12 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40138&PID=1377730&title=ht-struggles-of-parenthood#1377730 <![CDATA[HT: Struggles of parenthood : I would not call it struggles...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40138&PID=1377320&title=ht-struggles-of-parenthood#1377320 Author: jazzy

I would not call it struggles as such more like challengers

& mine are kids fighting & arguing & talking back...it seams that 3 children never agree on things & it takes longer for them to get turns

with things....days like this I think back to how much easier things were when I only had 1...& then 2

Getting up early in the mornings. Even on weekends! Why don't kids come programmed to know that weekends are for sleeping in?

Finding time for myself! I know that sounds totally selfish but i would love to have a shower without DS beaming at me from the corner and losing his patience halfway through and me having to sing and dance while frantically de-sudsing. Tiny dreams. But thats it! DS is a pretty sweet baby and hes still too young to get into any shinanegans.]]> Fri, 12 Aug 2011 19:52:48 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40138&PID=1375426&title=ht-struggles-of-parenthood#1375426 <![CDATA[HT: Struggles of parenthood : I struggle with tryign not be...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40138&PID=1375153&title=ht-struggles-of-parenthood#1375153 Author: snugglebug

I struggle with tryign not be become consumed with the baby and be a person as well. I have had PND and trying to move on from that by taking more time for myself and remembering who I was before baby but it's hard. I also struggle with frustration, I love my boy more than I could ever love anything but at times I get annoyed with him and that makes me feel guilty.... like if you love something that much you shouldn't be able to get annoyed with it, but you do..

Also balance between being a mum and a wife is a big thing it's hard sometimes to be both ]]> Fri, 12 Aug 2011 10:32:20 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40138&PID=1375153&title=ht-struggles-of-parenthood#1375153 <![CDATA[HT: Struggles of parenthood : right now it would be struggling...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40138&PID=1374240&title=ht-struggles-of-parenthood#1374240 Author: Panda289

Balancing time between kids when one kid needs more time/attention than the others, and then the house needs attention as well.

Open homes, living in house while its on the market, and trying to keep toddler from full on detruction mode when trying to clean in preperation for said open home.

Copping flack from family who dont have kids, therefore have higher expectations.]]> Wed, 10 Aug 2011 14:52:55 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40138&PID=1374205&title=ht-struggles-of-parenthood#1374205 <![CDATA[HT: Struggles of parenthood : my oldest son has autism thats...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40138&PID=1373739&title=ht-struggles-of-parenthood#1373739 Author: rorylex

Trying to balance everything. Giving her enough time and attention while still getting the housework done, performing at an adequate level in my job, having some time to myself and keeping fit.

Also trying to make the right parenting choices. There are so many options and opinions out there. Trying to figure out what fits my DD and our situation and would be the best for her in the long term is a real challenge sometimes. ]]> Mon, 08 Aug 2011 20:38:41 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40138&PID=1373182&title=ht-struggles-of-parenthood#1373182 <![CDATA[HT: Struggles of parenthood : Would have to say trying to give...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40138&PID=1373134&title=ht-struggles-of-parenthood#1373134 Author: dneyn
