[quote=Anonymous]I totally get the OP and I have teens. When the youngest is 3-4, it is a big milestones. You are finally free of diapers. We started bring booster seats rather than full car seats on the airplanes. You don't need a stroller anymore. They eat lots of different foods. At 3.5 and 6 they play with each other more. Life becomes more manageable. Mine are two years apart and I loved the years when they were 4-6. They were so cute!! Now, they are teens and this is the age that I miss the most. Disney is magical.

OP - keep in mind that every age will have good and bad points. Your next stage is the kid pack stage. You will start making new friends as you and other parents are sentenced to years of sports practices and games. You will trade in your weekend pass to Bounce U for a weekend pass to a soccer field and whatever kid restaurant is close to you. This fun though and if you are at a school with lots of events they will love it. You still have Disney but you can let go of Dutch Wonderland and do Hershey. You can have more fun at national parks.

The middle school age is the roughest as your sweet, polite children become smelly little monsters. The upside is that their interests will be more interesting to you. You'll enjoy more of the same movies and music. You can do activities with them and be surprised that they are better at it than you.

High school gets better and the best thing is to start using this time to reclaim your life. They will be gone in 4 years bankrupting you in the process so make sure you choose something that makes money or doesn't cost much. [/quote]
