[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This all makes me sad. No one on here sounds like they enjoy their kids. [/quote] I could see it being sad if it was all the time, but certain ages are a drag, especially in a culture (modern US) where childrearing isn't a communal endeavor (with neighbors, friends and family all helping out significantly) and you're expected to be extremely engaged with your kids. I find the baby and toddler years a drag. That's a big reason why I have just one. But I adore elementary-school kids, tweens and teens. We think it's fine and acceptable for teachers to gravitate toward a certain age but not others. Why can't parents be the same? I think it's healthy to admit "this stage isn't my favorite." [/quote]
