I really hate all those "you don't know tired until you're a mom" memes.
Yes you'll be tired when you have a baby. No, you are not the only person in the world who doesn't sleep. When I was in law school I never slept. When I was articling I never slept. My friend who works 3 jobs never sleeps. It's not a contest!
@mynamestaken I have a coworker that will always chime into a conversation "Try it with three kids!" and every time I want to punch her. I love her all the other times. But I find that comment to be super icky.
@MyNamesTaken I'm totally with you. I never slept in law school. In grad school, I worked full time and took night classes. Definitely didn't sleep much. Now, I'm super tired all the time still. People keep telling me how much worse it will be when the baby's here. Like, I know I won't sleep then. I can still be tired now, though.
I always want to say "no YOU don't know tired unless you're pregnant with a toddler" I've never been more tired in my life, even with this BS second tri energy.. I was more well rested when DS was breastfeeding every 3 hours night and day. I'm effing tired y'all!
@MyNamesTaken the biggest variable is how anyone handles lack of sleep and you're right, this shit isn't a competition, but a lot of people see it that way.
@lap018 holy shit yes! So tired! Toddlers are crazy! Lol When people say the wait till baby here comment, I laugh. I slept better with both my newborns than I did 3rd trimester for sure. Every baby is different I know and this one could be the one who doesn't sleep ever. I just figure I'll sleep someday again! Haha

Yep this. I can't imagine what it will be like with a newborn and a toddler and working. I'll be so exhausted.
