It definitely is more tiring in your thirties. I remember my cousin had her first at 22, and I had my daughter at 30, around the same time. She got her figure right back, and was glowing, and I was stumbling around looking like a mess. But I did have my twenties to play.FitMom wrote:Both of my kids had difficult periods of time at opposite ages. One was when he was a baby and the other when he was a toddler. I remember just having to adapt to it and know that plans could change at any time. i remember my husband and I taking turns taking them outside and walking with them. We didn't eat much out with them when they were young. We would just take them to the Galleria and eat there most of our nights "out". You do what you got to do. I feel that Brooks is acting completely normal. They were lucky with Gaines being calm and "easy".
I feel for C and K...they definitely enjoyed their 20's and had their "freedom". It is probably more exhausting with little ones in your mid 30's. We had our kids in our early/mid 20's...so now in our mid 30's they are older and we have no problems at all in public and such. We just now deal with the sports almost every night thing. Haha.
I don't understand why they insist on going out to dinner when they know he's going to be miserable and make them miserable. I mentioned it before and got shot down, but we just took turns walking my son around outside. There was usually something to interest him, even if it was a bush or a bug, or airplanes flying overhead. But if you just sit at the table, you're asking for trouble. My brother did the same with his son. He had the same situation C&K did-- an angel for a first child, didn't even have to baby proof. And the second was a terror. They said that if the second had been born first, they wouldn't have had a second, lol. So, you walk around outside or you get your food to go. It doesn't last forever.
