And my oldest will be 16 before the end of the year!
I survived 5 under 5 and now we’re on to five preteens and teenagers. I must say I was one of those who adored the baby stage (clearly) but I’m enjoying parenting older kids and teens so much more! |

| Do you follow the Holderness Family on social media? A reel they put out today about mom bringing little ones to the pool vs moms with older kids at the pool was very relatable to me. I miss my little kids, but I have a lot less stress now. Yes even with the big things that teens go through. |

So nice to see a positive post about preteens and teens, OP 
I only have two, and one is in college already. Wish I had more. Enjoy them while you can! |

| She had a kid approximately every 12 months for 5 years. What hard to understand? |

I completely agree! This is where it’s at!
This is the first year (13) I can say that I can see the personality and person DD will become. She’s so fun, funny, and like a peer in many ways: we can watch many of the same movies and shows, read the same books, have adult-like conversations that include nuance and humor. I’m a mom first, of course, but my relationship with DD is like that of a friend, almost, it’s hard to explain. |

I don't understand people that post about having 5 kids and then "surviving" those 5 kids.
Don't have so many f**king kids maybe? |

Not OP, but the mommy and daddy had a special hug and his sperm joined with her egg… Seriously? I’m assuming there is at least one set of twins, or OP was just pregnant nonstop for five years. (A 4yo, a 3yo, a 2yo, a 1yo, and a newborn.) |
