Was raising kids the “golden years” for you?

I’m a SAHM two to young kids. I’ve been told so many times to “enjoy it now, they grow up so fast”. I LOVE my kids dearly, but also inwardly count down the years to where I can have “freedom”/“be me” again (ie working when they’re in school, growing a career/not being tight on finances, traveling with my spouse when they’re out of the house). Is this a me problem and I’m being calloused to the supposed best years of my life? Would love some input from those who have gone through it!
