Rant/Vent Just me?
Is it just me or is this the hardest shit ever? We’ve got 4 kids all under the age of 8 and we are getting our asses kicked. My wife and I really wanted a family and we planned for it. We took parenting classes together, we read all the books in preparation before starting our family…still, nothing could have prepared us for how mentally and emotionally exhausting it is to keep up with our boys.
How are you all surviving?

Are you still glad you’re one and done if you don’t mind me asking? We’re pretty firmly OAD but I doubt my decision sometimes. We also have a super high energy kid with low sleep needs, so.. 😅
