It is refreshing to see a mother being honest about the challenges of parenthood. I regularly read and hear from parents going on about how it is the greatest thing ever and they love every second of it and I always think they have to be lying or are in denial.
My wife and I were on the fence about kids and ended up having one by accident. My daughter is amazing and we don't regret anything however it was a major life changing event which has come with a lot of work and stress. The biggest change is being fully responsible for the well being of a tiny human which was a shock to someone who has always done whatever I wanted whenever I wanted. The lack of money has also been stressful going from being a big spender and travelling a lot to now having to stick to a tight budget.
We have thankfully settled into a routine and things are always getting easier. That said we have both decided we are one and done.
