@lifewiththemckennas: Today (and the past few days actually) have been rough. Just normal baby things but I have definitely been wishing away the hours and then feeling incredibly guilty for doing that. I want her to be this tiny little adorable baby forever but also can’t wait for it to get a little easier so basically I don’t know what I want… but today was a hard day and it’s ok to not enjoy every moment.

I was actually thinking about that today. My children are grown now. My daughter is almost 27, and she lives with her boyfriend in their apartment. My son is 24 and still lives with us—my husband, me, and our dog—but he happens to be traveling these days. And I was thinking about the years when they were little and we all lived here in this house. Everything was a routine, although sometimes it felt like there was too much routine, and we were always rushing from one thing to another: school, homework, extracurricular activities, birthday parties, work, and so on. And now that one of them no longer lives at home and the other will soon move out and live on his own, I was thinking today, specifically, about how those years when we all lived here together as a family, when they were little, were a gift. Honestly, I was thinking of it as a gift that God gives us, one that is difficult to appreciate fully while we’re living through it because we don’t have the perspective to see it for what it is. But today, now that I can look back on it with some perspective, I was thinking that it truly was a gift, and that we should make the most of those years and enjoy them as much as possible while we have them.

This “enjoy every moment” thing is so toxic. Some things just aren’t enjoyable.

You wouldn’t be human if you thoroughly enjoyed every single moment with your baby. It’s normal to have hard days and look forward to easier times ahead. That doesn’t take away the joy that you experience with your sweet little Ottie. As a mom of grown ups, I miss the baby days while I also love being able to be a friend to my kids and not have the responsibilities I had when they were babies. I completely understand what you mean, but I can’t find the words to express what I want to say to try and alleviate some of the guilt you’re feeling.

I feel the same. My 3 month old has severe colic — and almost every day is soul crushing. 💕

Mixed emotions are normal. Being sleep deprived is exhausting and exacerbates everything. 💕

I used to cross days off the calendar and someone told me those are days you’ll never have back again. Never did it again.

Where teething is concerned I always found the Nelsons homeopathic teething granules were great. Especially at bed time. Wishing you well Mama.

I am not a mom, but i'm an AUNT and I feel the same way about my precious niece ☺️i just felt this PANG of sadness lately b/c she is just growing into 18-24 month size clothing! 🥺 she's not gonna be in the BABY sizes anymore, next up is 2T! its a range of emotions -- its so joyful & fun seeing the different stages they go through and watching them develop & grow before your eyes, but then you sometimes feel sad b/c you realize how fast time flies .. you will never get the baby phase back again!! i don't think that ever goes away to be quite honeat! look at the parents who cry when their kids go off to college, or when they get married!! 🩷🩷

I’m now 63 and look back on what I thought was hard days. But looking at young mums and dads having coffee, meeting friends, I really wish I had enjoyed it more. It was hard at the time, but goes so fast …. I’m now enjoying my grandchildren without the sleepless nights xxx
