When I first starting watching Jon & Kate Plus 8, I had a hard time with it. It stressed me out. The last thing I wanted to watch during my precious free time was a show about stressed out parents. I gradually came around and began to enjoy it as a show that I could identify with (even though I have just 1). Now that Austin's a little older, I let him watch it with me and he loves it. It's the only show that we watch together. As I watch Jon & Kate's little ones grow up and my little one is growing up I get all warm & fuzzy inside. It has been so much fun sharing what we like with him as he gets old enough to appreciate new things. I think these stages were a direct reflection of what I was going through. At first I was overwhelmed, no doubt about it. Then, I regained a little spare time. And now I thoroughly enjoy sharing what I like to do with Austin.
When Austin was a newborn, a friend of mine with an 8 year old, said "Now's when it gets fun. You can do things with them" and I was thinking 'I'm having fun now!'. But you probably enjoy your kid at every age and think that every moment is special.
