[quote=Anonymous]Parenting when kids are little is a physical game....you are physically exhausted, losing sleep due to the kids wake up times, constantly running after them just trying to keep them safe.

Parenting when kids get older is a mental game.  You don't have to chase after them, but you do have to figure out how to get them to and from activities, worries about friends and relationships, worries about technology, worries about school, how late should they be staying out, who are they spending time with, etc.

Is it easier to chase three kids at the playground when one wants to climb up the slide, another is on the baby swing, and the third is trying to run away?  
or to help someone with algebra homework, while also getting texts about how someone else's boyfriend didn't show up to their date, while also worrying about if the third kid will make the team they have their heart set on?

I've found older ages much easier than the younger ages, but the mileage varies based on the kids/personalities at play. [/quote]
