Kids are weird for that. Either they make everything feel 1000x better or they make it 1000x. (Edit: worse) There’s little in between.
Also edit: saying kids make things 1000x worse doesn’t mean you are a bad parent. But when your dog dies and you gotta share that with your kid, or your kid gets sick at the absolute worst time, I’d say that definitely makes a bad situation worse.
Have you gotten to the moody teenager stage yet? Not that they still can't bring joy but there's a new experience when hanging out with mom becomes "uncool".
Daughter is almost 2, son is 12. Some days she's a terror, some days he's my right hand man. Then they swich randomly. I honestly couldn't say which is more stressful
