Since my ds reached toddlerhood, I've been more stressed lately...Has anyone else gone through this with their children?

Thanks!

You are sooo not normal. I mean what is stressful about a toddler? JUST KIDDING! LOL


Of COURSE you are normal, toddlers are normally stressful :) Jessica is it his behavior? Or is it something else going on? We could try to help with some details.

Having kids can be stressful. So yes, you are very normal.

I'm afraid to say it, but yes, you are normal. Hugs, and welcome to the new normal. You will be stressed from now on! LOL! But, the stress changes as they get older. First it is as a toddler, what they are getting into, etc. Then, as they start school, it is schedules, homework, playmates, etc. Stress is definitely normal.

Hugs,
