I so needed to read this today

This whole 2u2 thing had been pretty easy until about 2 weeks ago. DD1 has turned into an emotional, demanding child who flips her sh!t at the drop of a hat and DD2 has become a hitting, hair pulling, biting beast that pisses off the sensitive 3 year old every other minute! I was on vacation last week and I couldn't wait for Monday to come so I could go back to work!
This article is just what I needed to read right now:

Re: I so needed to read this today
That is very true! Sorry things have gotten to batsh!t-crazy at your house, OP. I can't say that things would have been any better if you had more years between your girls. There's 4y6m between my two and there's no balance (not the kind of balance I was telling myself there would be between them). The one phrase I tell myself over and over when I get stressed is "This too shall pass."
In the article where he says that the line "Enjoy every minute of your kids" is aweful, is exactly how I feel. I guess I wouldn't have such a problem with it if the people who were saying it wouldn't tell me while my kids are misbehaving. Something like this would be better "When they've grown up and moved out of the house, you'll forget that you had these bad days, and you will only remember the good ones."
