So, it's gone midnight on a Monday ....
It's obviously the right time to start venting my thoughts online, isn't it ?
Of course it is, otherwise why would I create a blog entitled whatever it was I entitled it to but moments ago.
The reason for tonight's post, is a result of reading yet another baby blog ..... yes, yes, I know it's tough, I do empathise (more than that, I've probably been there and no, I don't want to do it again, but thank you)
What I never read, is what happens once they get past the nappies (diapers) and settle into school, what happens then ?
Do we all just dump them in the institution and go back to work full time and that's the end of the tale ?
I, somehow, don't think so ... at least from my personal perspective ... the going to school and then juggling work becomes a far harder, far more mentally scarring (challenging .... I'm sure that's what some psychobablist will say) experience.
So for all you parents who are coping with the sleepless nights, the breastfeeding woes, the formulaic disasters, the colic, the lack of walking - developmental progress - lack of anything ......
When they say it gets worse .... I'm in the hiatus ..... I'm in the blissful bit which says - "no it doesn't, actually it's rather good" ...... I'm going to capture this before SHE hits "that age", the "Kevin age" and I pull down this post and replace it with "I'm sorry, I was so wrong" ....
