So, my dear friend, this is me being real for you and anyone else with little kids. It’s hard, often nightmarishly so. Yes, there are lovely moments and good memories and pretty pictures, especially these days with social media. But they can feel few and far between as you sleep-deprivedly slog through all the rest of it. So my advice is to focus on getting through this phase and looking forward to when it will all be worth it. And I promise: it will be.
