What's the hardest age to parent?

Question

Ok I know older kid/teens are a different story I'm just wondering what you guys feel and your experience is with the younger ones!!
I have a 5 year old and a ten month old and my son was a wayyyy harder newborn but wayyy easier older baby. I'm excited to see what he will be like as a toddler...  My daughter was easiest at 2...  3/4 was her "terrible two" age and now she is challenging because she talks non stop and has many melt downs lol she's very dramatic! 
I know the challenges just change but just for fun and to see if there's an average...what's your favorite/easiest age!? 
Also comment experiences thoughts! 🤗

Answer

They all have their own challenges.  Each age that is.  My 6 year old has kids that say mean things to her at school and my almost 1 year old still likes to nurse during the night! Lol

Answer

I think it's hard at every age! I have 7 month old twins and a 3 year old. It's been hard since day 1 for all of them😅

Answer

I have two teenage step kids and let me tell ya 😬😅

Answer

Omg your daughter sounds like my 4 year old son. His dada loves to say he got the dramatic gene from me😂😂 but I honestly think the older he got the easier. He was such a breeze as a baby, I was very lucky to have a calm happy baby who never cried unless he shit his pants😂 his personality is out of this world and he acts so mature for only being 4(: I'm super anxious to see how his brother is!! 😅

Answer

Right after my sons first birthday was a nightmare stage. He was GREAT up until then!!!

Answer

Newborn for sure. I like him 1000x better now that he's a toddler

Answer

I have a 15 year old and 9 year old stepsons and an almost 1 year old daughter (who is mine and Hubby’s) on Thanksgiving.  They are all hard for different reasons.  But being stepmom role in general is the hardest.  Being a “real” mom as the 9 year old puts it is easier.  I would say the 9 year old was good until 5/6 and then once he started School and learned more its been harder.  Plus he has some self discipline issues we work on at School too.  The 15 year acts like he can do anything he wants at any time.  It’s annoying and we are constantly reminding him to do stuff (like wear his retainers) and have to remind him he is still a kid even though he’ll try to argue he’s not.  I said you aren’t 18 so therefore you’re a kid.  🙄. My daughter has a personality developing.  She’s usually patient except for when she isn’t and then she’s super impatient.  But I love them all.  I’m worn out.  The teenager will wear you out.  They have hormones and hunger you have to deal with.  The 9 year old eats like a teenager too.  I would say each age and child is different.  Many many years ago I worked in a daycare with 1 and 2 year olds and they generally were pretty good.  So I dunno 🤷🏼‍♀️. Just enjoy each day. It’s going by way too fast.

Answer

Any age, any time, kids are kids🤣

Answer

Teenagers. Hands down. Nothing harder.

Answer

my step daughter was so easy as a newborn and a toddler when she got to about 5 she started getting a bit harder and still is that way now sometimes. it's more of just the attitude or nit picking things otherwise she is pretty easy to parent at least for me and my SO. her mom's always had a hard time with her though. She is a completely different kid with us than with her mom. I'm sure we are going to have difficulty when she is a preteen/teenager.
