This. [b]You might be surprised how it all turns out in the end[/b]. I leaned in hard during the early years (which my kids do not remember) and now have the wealth and flexibility to be very involved in the teenage years as a result. My teenagers are well adjusted and excelling in school/sports. I got a lot of harpy comments like yours, and I’m glad I ignored them. [/quote]
Some parents do better with different ages. My husband was good with babies, impatient with toddlers, and excellent with teens. Toddlers and elementary school ages are my favorite, so it worked out for us. [/quote]
+1, I was the go to when the kids were under 2, my DH was way better with the kids when they were 3-7 (those ages drove me nuts), and they are now tweens and I love spending time with them as does my DH. They have personalities and interests and aren’t angsty yet, if I could have them stay at this age for a while I would. But someone that knew me when they were toddlers/early ES would probably be shocked that I’ve leaned back from my career and enjoy the kids and their activities. 1,3, and 6 are rough ages.[/quote]

+100 Let her lean out during this stage if that's what she needs for her mental wellness, OP. and BUTT OUT.[/quote]
