As a non-parent, I feel extra qualified to answer your question - ha!

But I do have 7.5 nephews and nieces, so I can tell you what I've observed: things get better when they get a little older. And then you're lucky because you have a boychild who probably won't hate and detest you when he turns 10 like the girl children in my family do. They are evil until they are about 20 then they mellow again. That's a long, freaking phase my friend.

But then again, it may be unique to us. Good luck and for what it is worth - all my friends (and sisters) with kids have struggled through the same time. I know my turn will come soon enough.
