When my child reaches ________(age) then I will start to feel like I am getting possession of my own body back. Anyone care to fill in the blank?
Right now DD is basically an extra appendage of mine. At 8 months old, she and I are completely enmeshed. She wants to know where I am, where I'm going and ideally, to be right there with me at all times of the night and day.
A good friend of mine calls the status of having very young children as being "in the trenches." She is right. My head hurts, my back aches, my joints creak . . .I am wiped out.

I have no answer for you.
This ain't gonna help....but as Mom to a 20 yr old, a 18 yr old, a 3 yr old and a 1 yr old.....I am gonna say..even tho right now ya can't see an end in sight....all to soon....your gonna be looking back and wishing you were where, you are right now.
