I think the ultimate fight for a new parent is having their babies sleep.  Most of us parents know what it’s like to battle our children on taking naps.  Boy the older they get, the worse it is.  I am so over this whole nap thing.  Ever since my son was born, my biggest fear has been sleep.  I suffered from Post Partum Depression as I stated in my earlier posts, anyway, that made things worse, I’m not sure I have gotten over anything.  I revolve my life and social life around my son’s sleep schedule.  I know, pathetic, but honestly I rather sacrifice my enjoyement than have a crancky unhappy baby.  The only thing that really bothers me is that my son, now two, is still rocked for his nap, and eventhough he’s tired, he tries to fight it.  Sometimes I wish he was older so we can skip the darn thing, however, I would be missing out on the best years of his life.  Honestly, it does not bother me one bit that I have to cut my entertainment short, I rather be home with him anyways. I guess I really don’t want my son to drop his nap, this is the only two hours I get to myself (selfish, I know) but hey, these are the things we give up for parenthood.
