Kinda fucked but when you have a small baby people love to tell you that you should enjoy it while you can because you can never get that time back. And that is true, but also having a small baby does just suck.

No sleep, tons of crying, high stress, and then somebody, usually an old person, tries to lay some guilt on you because you’re not enjoying it enough while you’re just trying to survive.

They do this because genuinely all they remember is the good, your brain can kinda block out the bad after the fact with thick rose colored glasses. Or they do it because back in the day they just kinda left the other parent to do the hard parts and they actually didn’t have a bad time.

What they should tell you though is that having babies does suck but kids are worth it and it gets much better. Instead of trying to guilt trip you while you’re running on 2 of sleep a night for 6+ months.
