Answer

I love my kids more than anything but there are some days where I just wanna leave the house without them or drop them off at the grandparents so I can have time to myself. Parenting is hard but when my son comes up to me and randomly kisses my leg or does something cute/funny it's all worth it.

This week has been a giant nightmare and I am ready to call it quits. She's 16 months old and doesn't really talk.she babbles but nothing really coherent. This whole week from the time she opens her eyes till bedtime it's constant whining and crying and being unsatisfied by everything I try to do for her. Tonight might be the night I take a long shower and cry because I'm over it. I love her to death but she's trying me this week

I’ve heard a good saying about marriage that kind of fits. 
I always love you, but sometimes I don’t like you 🙈

I was good with it until quarantine happened and I couldn’t go to work, my son couldn’t go to preschool, we can’t go anywhere, etc. I’m losing my mind 1 day at a time. Love him more than life and I love being a mom but every minute of everyday is a lot to handle.
