[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have always thought elementary age is a lovely sweet spot. Not for everyone, unfortunately, but for me it has been.[/quote] +1. Less high maintenance than babies/toddlers, no drama of the teens. Just curious, happy, lovely little folk. Love this age.[/quote] Yes. I loved it. Here is my favorite to least favorite (mom of three teens: boys and a girl), but I do note this this highly variable depending on kids and personalities. 1. PreK-5th grade - sweet spot. The only difficult part is summer break if both parents work. 2. Infant to 18 months - but I had easy babies. Just luck of the draw there. 3. Middle School - general moodiness, but they kind of self soothe by going to their room a lot. 4. Toddler - fun, but exhausting and challenging, and who wants to potty train. 5. High School aged - expensive again, plus moodiness, challenging, and testing boundaries. When shit hits the fan, it happens big time. [/quote]
