Yeah. Both of mine were medium-to-low difficulty as babies and especially with the first one I was very much "wtf how do people DO this with high-difficulty babies?!" I had a pretty hard time, and by the time my maternity leave was up I was SO ready to go back to work.
I feel kinda negative about early babyhood; I don't really think newborn babies are that cute and they don't really respond to you at all, and they just eat and sleep and poop and I started becoming down about how my worth as a person was at this time was validated only by how much milk I could produce. Hey, wow, I am apparently still bitter about all of this.
Six weeks, when they can smile? Then it started getting substantially better, at least for me (although more with second kid than first, because first still didn't smile at me).
