The Question New Moms Are Still Asking Years Later: Will I Ever Sleep Again?
My kids are three and two years old, and they still constantly wake through the night
I’m glad my husband is a real partner, not an Instagram Dad ™, the ones who look cute in pictures, playground, and kids’ parties but aren’t involved when shit hits the fan daily. I don’t know how I would cope otherwise.
I have two kids, a three-year-old and a two-year-old. The eldest will be four in January, but she still wakes up during the night, sometimes more often than my friend’s newborn baby. Neither girl was ever a good sleeper; hands up, that has been the most challenging part of parenting for me.
The constant wakes throughout the night, the very early mornings, the longest bedtimes. I didn’t know sleep could be this horrendous, and to be honest, I didn’t know it could be this bad for this long, either; I’m still lying to myself that we must be close to the finish line now.
