I am CONVINCED that everyone who has a second baby has had a fairly easy first baby

Because there’s no way one willingly goes through this again. Since my kid has been born, I’ve never yet slept through the night - it’s been 16 months. The last couple of months, she’s been up 4 hours a night despite us doing everything perfectly (naps, meals, co-sleeping & independently sleeping- you name it). Plus she doesn’t sleep any other way than for you to walk around with her rocking her - imagine doing that for hours with a heavy af toddler.

Add to that the fact that she wails EVERY damn bath. Refuses to eat meals after 6-7 bites, and just the fucking backache I have from running around chasing her to ensure she doesn’t hurt herself.

It’s taken everything out of me, and as much as I’ve always wanted a second kid, I FUCKING CANT.
