So much to do and no clue where to start

Can’t imagine how difficult this is, taking care of special needs child plus everything else. Question: when you considered this adoption, did you visualize the future hardships?

[@TheChoiceofMotherhood]

I knew it wouldn't be easy but honestly absolutely nothing can prepare you for parenting (even a typical child) until you're in it. There has been some stuff that I was fully prepared for but other stuff, like sleep issues and the endless noise, I couldn't imagine what it would be like. Also work has changed a lot over the past couple years, which there was zero way of knowing that. Most days when I'm super overwhelmed it isn't because of parenting, it's because work takes so much from me when it didn't before so by the time I get home I already have nothing left to give. Weekends and holiday breaks are amazing usually because with the work stress off my plate I can manage everything else. It's a huge reason why I'm hoping to change careers eventually because it's burning me out.
