Yes!!! Every age brings its own joys/struggles. After each I was relieved she got past it. Only to realize there was more parenting to do. Each phase has its pros and cons. You’ll be happy when all they do is sleep. Then you’ll be happy that they can only crawl but then get upset you need to watch them more. It goes on. Next you’ll be asking “Who put Vick’s on the cheese it’s?” Plus one to whoever gets that obscure reference.

I will say this though. My parents live less than a mile away. My daughter has yet to stay the night. And I can not remember a time I asked them to babysit other than she’s sick and can’t go to school.

But, you very well may be cooler than me. Doubtful, but I’ll open the possibility of that being the case.
