I cry at that part and this:</p> <p>I am sure there will come a day when no one needs me. My babies will all be long gone and consumed with their own lives. I may sit alone in some assisted living facility watching my body fade away. No one will need me then. I may even be a burden. Sure, they will come visit, but my arms will no longer be their home. </p> <p>@ash: :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-youre-having-a-tough-parenting-day-read-this#post-2355285 Fri, 13 Nov 2015 09:44:25 +0000 Mrs. Lion 2355285@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love both of these &lt;3</p> <p>@SweetiePie: I have read this one at least a dozen times, and this part makes me start sobbing every single time.</p> <p>"These years of being needed are exhausting, yet fleeting. I have to stop dreaming of "one day" when things will be easier. Because the truth is, it may get easier, but it will never be better than today." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-youre-having-a-tough-parenting-day-read-this#post-2355145 Fri, 13 Nov 2015 08:08:48 +0000 Ash 2355145@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SweetiePie: I didn't finish reading this yet but OH MY GOSH, it's so good already! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-youre-having-a-tough-parenting-day-read-this#post-2355142 Fri, 13 Nov 2015 08:04:06 +0000 Ash 2355142@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks for sharing!

This one specifically hit me when he still had that pesky 4am wakeup and I was tired and wished he'd just sttn. But then I read the part about savoring those quiet moments alone and it really made a difference.<br /> I still jumped for joy when he sttn a few weeks later :-) But it made me treasure those last few weeks instead of lament them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-youre-having-a-tough-parenting-day-read-this#post-2355078 Fri, 13 Nov 2015 01:30:17 +0000 regberadaisy 2355078@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SweetiePie: I love that one so much. Parenting can be suffocating right now but it makes me a little sad to think about how fast it's all going. I swear it was just last week my threenager was an infant!!!! 😭 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-youre-having-a-tough-parenting-day-read-this#post-2355077 Fri, 13 Nov 2015 01:26:58 +0000 regberadaisy 2355077@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Holy shit. I was ready to agree with all you ladies until I read the article. She has SIX kids??? My day with a threenager and clingy shadow of a 14m old is probably a vacation to her! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-youre-having-a-tough-parenting-day-read-this#post-2354996 Thu, 12 Nov 2015 21:59:39 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 2354996@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SweetiePie: I've seen that one and I love it.
