Did I luck out? DD still so easy.

Anonymous
My oldest is 14 and has been my easiest kid by far since birth.

Easy baby. Happy, content. Slept through the night by 12 weeks. Even as a toddler minimum tantrums. Good student, nice to siblings, super chill personality and kind kid.

I keep waiting for her to get challenging and thought it would be the teenage years but she’s still super pleasant. Mild attitude at times but otherwise I find her so much fun. She’s so smart and mature and I genuinely enjoy spending time with her as a person.

Are some kids just easy forever?

I have three younger kids (11 year old twin boys & 8-year-old girl) who have been challenging on and off during their life.

I love them all equally so much but man, it’s so nice to have one kid who just has been pleasant forever. Should I hold my breath? Is she going to switch it up on me at 16?

You can exhale. Sounds like has an easy personality. My eldest DD is also like that, and it’s been a pleasure. We have our moments of bickering, but on a whole she is thoughtful, funny, and great to talk to.

Some are but at 14, you’re counting your chickens before they’re hatched.

With four kids, she probably figured out what she needed to do to survive.

My daughter was pretty easy through 14. 15 had its moments, 16 was a horrible year but things are improving now she is 17.

I don’t think you are out of the woods just yet

she's a master manipulator and has you totally wrapped around her fingers.

+1 definitely possible she will stay easy but probably equally possible she doesn’t.

Mine is 17 and I’ve had the same experience. I can count on one hand the number of times we’ve bickered. She’s awesome.
My 15yo boy, on the other hand…
He’s matured quite a bit, but those younger years were HARD. He was quite a handful!

If you had my tendencies towards luck in life, your daughter will now become a nightmare because of this post. I cannot sing my kids praises because fate is always listening and loves to humble me.
