[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks, PP. But then 5 got hard again? I guess the subtext of my question is that if there are other things that I should deal with but don’t have the emotional reserves to tackle at the moment (like — should we be staying in DC long term? I need to start a job search in other cities and see what’s out there. And if I get a new job, we’d need to move and then i’d need to prove myself at a new job. None of that is stuff I can do right now. I’m thinking I need to wait until DD is a bit easier!) Are you telling me I have one glory year of ease when she’s 4 to get all that done and then the $&@“ is going to hit the fan again?  :) [/quote]

The kid didn’t get harder, 5 was an easygoing age.  But I found daycare easier to deal with than school.  He came home from daycare ready for a fun family evening, whereas after aftercare he was tired and there was homework and a rush to get to bed.  And you have to send them even if you have the day off, but also find care when they were off and I wasn’t.  Not as hard as 2, but not as easy as 4.[/quote]
