Parents vs non parents

4yo and 1yo. I'm exhausted, they sure get to my nerves. I'm breastfeeding the 1yo and it is so demanding. I breastfed my first till 2yo, so basically my breasts hasn't been mine from a long time. I did really enjoy being pregnant, I woul love being pregnant again. But I can't stand the bad sleeping anymore, and the "toddlerness" (so many emotions, some tantrums, and some "I don't wanna!). I miss existing, like an individual person. I would love to be in my house alone. I would love to sleep alone.

I work out of house till 3pm, and the rest of the time is for my kids and trying to have the house cleen. My husband works from 4pm. So basically we take turns to be workers and parents. We don't have family arround. The closest is my MIL, an hour away, and she is jJust no MIL material, when we had kids she went even more crazy and she is the worst person I know.

So, when you ask, do you regret it? The answer will be no. I love my kids more than anything and although it is really stressing having small children (active ones!), life is hard as it is, and this way at least I have my family, I love my husband, I love my toddler, I love my baby. The love for my kids is bigger than I expected I would die for them. I like doing puzzles with my 4yo, I like playing hide and seek, dancing with her, doing karate, going to the beach. I like singing to my 1yo, building towers to see him destroy them. I love when we are together the four of us and do something together.
