[quote=Anonymous]The infant and toddler years are hard. Things mostly get easier for awhile in elementary school, you adjust to that and also start to have really fond memories of the early years and how cute your children were then (and to forget how tiring work and everything combined then was). Then things get somewhat harder - preteen hormones and moodiness, social stress/anxiety at school without much ability to see the bigger picture, independence and rebellion but without the ability to consistently make smart choices, teens still heavily need you but also do not worship or defer to their parents like younger children do. It is a very different stage and people in the middle of the thick of it may tend to idealize the early years.[/quote]
