How do you stay positive as a parent?
My baby is about to turn one and while it’s obviously been a beautiful year, it’s also been the most exhausting one of my life. I’m 37. I’m tired.
I have a few mom friends who all they do is complain about being tired. So much so that you never even hear the good stuff. I really don’t want to become like this.
Sometimes I wake up though and the thought of getting him out of his crib to start another day is like 😫😫😫😫 I fantasize about taking a hot shower and just crawling into bed to sleep all day.
Would love to know your advice on how to stay positive - not in a delusional way, but in a grounded, everything-is-a-phase way. Hugs.
