[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thinking back to when I was 35...the most difficult part of my marriage was having two toddlers. We didn't have a whole lot of time for each other.[/quote]

If you think it is hard now, wait until they are teenagers.  We have ages 15, 14, and 10 and they require far more time and energy on our part.   I wish we could turn back to the toddler stage.  [/quote]

I have teens now and cannot stand when people say this. The stresses are completely different, and there is no reason to compare like this. And the difficulties of the different stresses depend in large part on the parents' personalities. So, yes, dealing with teens' sullenness, independence, exposure to sex and drugs, increased schoolwork and school pressures, school and extracurricular activities, etc. can be difficult, but some parents are totally ok with all that. Likewise with toddlers and all the loss of freedom for the parents, the constant motion and following them around, the irrational toddler angst, etc. But some people love that age. [/quote]
