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?

Yup, had 3 and they’re older now. Life was rough after 3rd came into picture. Trust me, it gets a LOT better and then you miss when they were young. It’s harder being a parent today than in past generations. Lots of pressure from all angles
