I put no to your first question because I don't feel as if I am parenting just yet. I think the harder part is to come in another month or two where LO's personality takes shape, where we as parents introduce her to different things. Right now it's physical needs to be fulfilled - feed, clean and shelter and tonnes of cuddles and kisses.
But as she grows, we help guide her through rights and wrongs, do's and don'ts and that's what I see parenthood as. And yes, then I think it will be hard!
And I think being a parent is the hardest job there is with no vacation days nor sick leave you can take nor one where you can leave the stress at office and come home to relax!
My husband says he doesn't feel being a parent just yet, as I am the one taking care of her physical needs. He says he is enjoying the perks of it as he goes to work, comes home and plays (although he does a lot more than he gives himself credit for). So he thinks his job is more stressful. I however, put down that parenthood is harder for him, as it's been harder for him to accept that he is a father now and we have to adjust to a slightly different lifestyle!
