Even when I was pregnant and I would say something simple like I was tired, some people would say, "Well just wait till that kid gets here" and I would think, "Um, yeah, but I'm still tired now. That's all I was saying." Haha. I, for one, totally know that school and work are crazy busy, especially since you will be a teacher! You will do great and handle it all so well, I know. Good luck with everything in your busy life that some people just don't seem to understand :)Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10777346361275802122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9011303400775609290.post-39410624844498873512012-06-10T18:13:45.722-07:002012-06-10T18:13:45.722-07:00I hate one-upers and I so often fall into the slip...I hate one-upers and I so often fall into the slippery slope. I get so upset when people say to me, "oh you think you are busy now, just wait until your kids are older." Like somehow having young kids is not as hard as having teenage kids. (Same thing you went through, like somehow starting new careers isn't has hard as having young kids. Which is a bunch of crap.) <br /><br />I firmly believe that everyone is busy and everyone has hard things in their life that they can complain about. Each time of life has things that are hard and things that are easy. The goal of life is to enjoy the easy part of your situation and try not to complain about the hard things. We all can complain and spend all our time trying to be busier or more stress out then the next girl, but the truth is that complaining about all of it doesn't help. You just have to get over yourself and get on with the work in front of you. You will never truly understand someone elses situation, so don't try. Just be their friend and love them.Aprilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00069158217174279296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9011303400775609290.post-17335193034977284292012-06-07T08:24:19.656-07:002012-06-07T08:24:19.656-07:00AAAAAmen, sistah!AAAAAmen, sistah!Diana Lynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08224014045014713322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9011303400775609290.post-70193070686746140052012-06-06T13:48:24.010-07:002012-06-06T13:48:24.010-07:00Amen Sister.

Do they have like a meter? :) Different tasks do not solidify one being harder than another! Meaning, maybe your one kid is easier to handle than my stinkin' math class, so who cares if she has a child or not?! We never know. haha.karly from [kar[+]wade]https://www.blogger.com/profile/01951140278863023255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9011303400775609290.post-37882380255853868222012-06-06T13:19:45.273-07:002012-06-06T13:19:45.273-07:00I love you Bekah & this post!

The whole kid situation is tough, but there are a whole world of other troubles out there too.

Nate and I both were so busy in college that we were on campus studying and working from about 8am until midnight almost every day. The "free time" that having a job provided probably is what made it possible for us to date and get married. I know moms are really busy, but the truth I've heard from moms (particularly with only one kid at home) is that you actually have some free time on your hands. I'm guessing the moms who have said to you "just wait..." probably aren't holding down full time jobs. Just a guess. Times and seasons. Who wants to live life if it just keeps getting worse!?!Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02397503772609296649noreply@blogger.com
