My Kids Are No Longer Babies But Life Feels Harder Than Ever
Briefly

I remember the support parade beating down my door the moment I brought my first baby home...it was like a big warm hug from my whole community, wrapping their arms around my baby and me as I transitioned into motherhood.
Somehow I felt more prepared for newborn life. Having older kids feels so much harder. Life is about as chaotic as a dumpster fire in the middle of a three ring circus.
People think I've got it all under control. The reality is, I am kinda drowning in the daily chaos of taking care of strong-minded, full-scheduled, growing humans.
The truth is, the everyday revolving door of madness that comes with caring for older kids is a hell of a lot harder than navigating feed and sleep schedules of a new baby.
