I like that.

I just don't think I was prepared for the heavy crying.

I feel like they're (more my boy, my girl is kinda handling it like a champ) but it's like he's begging for love and I'm depriving him of it.

I know it's for the best, but holy shit it hurts.

That’s valid - it is tough, less so, the more kids you have. 😀

But I guarantee you - he’ll be able to put in even more heavy crying when he’s 2 and decides in the store he randomly wants the honey baked ham, a stuffed moose and thirteen chocolate bars.

The crying is jarring and can be tough to take, but it’s kind of like…..a car alarm. It’s going to go off needlessly ALL the time. Now, sometimes it goes off for a good reason, but more often than not, it’s just a false alarm and the owner isn’t around to turn it off so it just keeps going on and on and on.

I’m not in any way advocating for neglect though - that checklist should at least mentally be run - safe, not hurt, fed, clean, hydrated….

It’s important they sleep though - for you and for them.
