[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a 6 year old, 5 year old and 1.5 year old - I LOVE it.  I would never complain to parents with teenagers.  Having teens (as demonstrated on this thread) sounds horrible.

My kids all sleep around 12 hours a night and one of them still takes a 2 hour nap during the middle of the day.  I don't have to worry about them sneaking out or doing drugs or having sex.  They love me and cuddle with me and wake up in the mornings saying "Good morning mama! I love you!"

I am soaking this all in so I can play it in my mind when they are older and refuse to talk to me. [/quote]

You’re buying into the terrible teen mythology. My teens both talked to me and still do as young adults. They both would hug me, sure not cuddle monsters like when they were little but nice adult hugs. Now I get to talk to them about politics or the news. My daughter and I watch the GBBS together and Jeopardy too. My son shares things he’s learning in his classes and my husband and I help problem solve. Every age has its blessings and curses. IMHO no one age is all better or all worse than another. I would love them to be 3 and 5 again for a day! [/quote]
