I have a lovely DD, who is now 11 mo. In a lot of ways, I find being a mum much easier than when she was a newborn, but other days, if I'm being honest, I find it boring and tiring. DD is going through a stage of being unsettled at night, and seems generally frustrated and moany a lot of the time (maybe due to teething). Obviously, she is still totally reliant on me for feeding, changing, entertainment etc and the responsibility feels relentless.
My question is this: does it get easier than this, and if so, when? Or does toddler behaviour make life even more difficult? I think I want someone to reassure me that one day I will go to bed confident of an good night's sleep and wake up raring to start the day and not have endless battles about (her)eating something healthy and constantly worrying that she might be ill.
