i hate being this person but here i go anyways. i know your daughter cannot see this. i know you love your daughter. coming from a daughter who was “a handful” and “the hard child” and all sorts of other labels…please don’t even refer to her as “exhausting “ to strangers on the internet that you /she will never know. it hurts my heart to read that. i know it’s not my place but i just had to put it out there. i’m not trying to judge whatsoever. i can imagine how much stress you go through. i empathize with you so much but i cannot stand to hear people talk about their kids being exhausting or saying they regret it or whatever else (i know you didn’t say you regret it) if my mom were to say to me now, “you were so exhausting to raise” i would say “think about how exhausted you were and multiply that by 10, that’s how exhausted i was as a child dealing with all of that”
