[quote=Anonymous]I just remember being so tired when my kids were at that age. It was a nightmare. I can honestly say that every day has gotten easier since then. My kids are now teenagers and getting through the pandemic has not been bad, in that they are super independent and don't need monitoring. Yes, there are new and difficult struggles, mental health, grades etc. But they are genuinely great kids and I love spending time with them. I would caution against having a third. If you don't, you will be over the worst in three years or so. If you do have a third, you are looking at 5 or 6 years of hell. It puts tremendous strain on a family and I know couples that have broken up over it. I will also say - teamwork and good consistent parenting is essential if you want things to get easier. Taking the easy way out in the short term - e.g. giving in to tantrums, picky eating etc - will always bite you in the long term. Stay strong![/quote]
