As a parent of a toddler, sleep and housework can still be challenging, but diapers barely even register any more. I hardly remember the sleepless month we had when my kid was about 3 months old. I still have friends and hobbies and an identity outside of being a parent.

Honestly the biggest impact on my life so far is having to keep in mind that there is a developing person following me (both literally and figuratively) and copying exactly what I do and say.
