When you become a parent, you put the needs of your children before your own. The worries and stresses in life become less about you and more about your children. Even though becoming a parent is a 24/7 job and one of the hardest things you will ever accomplish, it is easy to feel like nobody appreciates what you do. It is easy to become discouraged and feel like you are being taken for granted.
