[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]YEah, sorry to be a downer, but it doesnt' stop being hard.  But the problems do change.  We all tell new moms that it gets easier, but that's just because we feel sorry for you and want to make you feel better.  Raising children is hard, and demanding, regardless of age.  I'm sure my 70 year old parents are getting sick of bailing my 40 year old sister out of her tax issues too.  And I can guarantee you my MIL is worn out, exhausted, and defeated by the multiple divorces of her children.  But hey!  It's not diapers![/quote]

I am a parent to two older kids. I can say very honestly that it is WAY easier than it was when they were little and not sleeping and so very needy every hour of the day. I think that parents who say otherwise either have very challenging kids or have truly forgotten how tough those early years can be.

That's not to say that my kids require less parenting than they did when they were little. They have new issues every week that we need to handle! But it's so much easier and with a better fun-to-drudgery ratio than when they were 5 and under.[/quote]
