[quote=Anonymous]Overall definitely yes. I have 3.

I find the baby stage absolutely horrible. The lack of sleep and relentlessness. I might’ve considered having a 4th if not for the baby stage- not something I could bring myself to do again. I also hate being pregnant. I did have a set of twins which likely factors hugely into this, lol.

I found the toddler-preschool ages difficult too but LOVED those ages. My favorite probably.  I find kids this age so interesting and exciting- learning new things every day, always so many funny things,  so many firsts. Hated the tantrums but find tantrums a lot more manageable  than the lack of sleep in the baby stage.

Elementary age- great.  The easiest age so far, for all the obvious reasons. And still so fun.

Middle school age- generally yuck, for all the obvious reasons. My last is still this age.  Still, didn’t have any major issues with any of mine at this age (knock on wood) and I am very grateful for that.

High school- I have two this age and am really enjoying it so far. Some bumps, but so much good stuff. I love seeing the people they are becoming.

For me, pregnancy and the infant stage were SO MUCH harder than I expected. So so much harder. The rest has been about what I expected, or easier than expected in some ways too. [/quote]
