Caring for Zack (my son), and doign all the parenting stuff is hard. It sucks trying to cram 8 hours of sleep in to a 30 minutes nap time. It sucks cooking a good dinner while trying to stop him from burning the house down. I always need to have an eye and an ear on something across the house, and I need to be extra careful wherever we go...
99% of the time, I love the hyper-activity...Other times, I want to sit down in a dark room, and be alone with my thoughts for 10 seconds...
I'm sure that if I had my son when I was 29, instead of 19, it'd be a much different story. Also if the ex didn't turn into what she did...
