It is hard. It is very hard. And it does get better. And sometime your kid, being your kid, will also want down time and alone time. And one of the virtues of being a mother who wants down time is that you will encourage your kid to develop independence. Which is not the same as neglecting the kid.
There are a lot of different kinds of mother. I am a MUCH better (and happier) mother of a child, and now a teenager, than I ever was of a baby. In my opinion, babies are the investment you make in order to get the eventual reward of children.
I swear to you, it gets easier. And once they talk it is SO entertaining!
