[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree that the early years are HARD but now with my two children -- 1 college aged and one just-graduated college -- it is pretty sweet. Sure, there are significant costs involved at this phase, but these two kids of ours are developing into amazing young adults and it is a privilege to have front row seats. Yes, there are prior years of "hard" but the long-term payoff is better than I had imagined.[/quote]

+1. So agree with this.

OP your sister is lucky to have you to vent to, to show her down and worst side. That is what you are seeing. You're picking up on it because you're not used to seeing her this way. But I guarantee that if you ask her in quiet moment if she would do it again, she would say YES in a heartbeat.[/quote]

I think newborn stage through about 2nd grade was really really tough.  But now my kids 5th grade twins bring me true joy.  I have a job that has meaning with a workable schedule, and some really great kids, my marriage is definitely better now that the twins are relatively independent.  To OP, when your nieces/nephews are old enough to hang out with and have conversations and are unapologetically uniquely themselves, you may even be jealous of your sister.[/quote]
