As a parent you...

...can't wait for you child to go to bed but then can't wait to wake them in the morning.
...look forward to evenings or days out and then spend the whole time talking or thinking about your child.
...love family time all together but then long to have a moment to yourself.
...wish your child could be a bit more like X's child but at the same time think your child is the best!
...get extremely bored of soft play/the park/going for walks but will go there on a regular basis because you love how excited and happy they make your child.
...want your child to progress to the next milestone (crawling, walking, talking etc) but then feel sad they are growing up.
...in the same day can say, "She's so frustrating, I just want cry!" but also, "She's so amazing, I just want to cry!".
