Anyone that ever tells you that parenting can't burn you out is either full of shit or likely not a very good parent. It's a ton of work, but it's really rewarding too. What I've found out of late is that two is much harder than one. I had to give up certain things after having two. For example, it takes both me and my wife to put them to bed now. It used to be a one person deal, now we each get one. That means no more, "okay, you put the kid down tonight, I have a tennis game..." Yeah, I haven't played tennis in almost 5 months. I LOVE tennis. But it's worth it and soon, my oldest won't need as much coddling when going to bed and things will normalize, but it's been a rough few months. Some may have noticed that I'm on the site a lot less since #2.
