If parenting is so hard why do people have more?

Question

Pregnant with first child and not sure if I'm just going through the panic stage or what but been googling what being a parent is like and worried If I will adapt. Seem to hear lots of negative!

Answer

I’m kinda right there with you. My daughter is almost 6 weeks, I am struggling, and at times I feel like I don’t know if I could do his again. I plan on having one more so that she can have a sibling. But I won’t lie. It is hard, especially at first. But I know things will get better. 
I definitely won’t have a third though 😉

Answer

dont google that kind of stuff ppl use social media most of the time to vent out frustration or its their go to to complain. honestly having kids can be tough but it also depends on circumstances and how you handle things as a parent. I myself am a high anxiety individual  plus I'm a military wife so most of the time I am doing this alone because my husband is gone but I will tell you even on the hardest days I wouldn't change anything. those days have made me stronger as a person and a mom and have shown me it's all about a person's mind set in what it's like to have kids. but that's just my two cents. just know when you need help to reach out to your support system (family, friends, etc)

Answer

Of course parenting is hard. Anything worth doing requires effort and can be difficult. College can be hard but I'm still doing that again. Planks are hard but my abs look great. Pregnancy, birth, and parenting are rough but raising more than one human being who unconditionally loves you and gives you slobbery kisses and squeeze hugs is the best.

Answer

In my experience,  I've noticed in our family,  if there is a person to always help, like the grandma, it's easier for the parents to grow their family.   My mother in law is very involved in raising her daughters kids, all 6.  None of the kids have ever gone to daycare bc my mother in law watches each one... with NO pay!

Answer

It’s hard. My child is 22 months and I’m still like, “Nope, I’m done. This is it.” I went through postpartum and she didn’t sleep through until almost 17 months (not trying to scare you.) But as she gets older I know I will probably want her to have a sibling, and that when she’s closer to 4 or 5 it will get a lot easier.
