[quote=Anonymous]My teens are easy. They are sweet and hard working and well-behaved. I don’t go around asking “why are parents of teens so overwhelmed? It’s not that hard!” Why? Because a) I know I got lucky that my teens aren’t into drugs and alcohol and are smart and hard working to get good grades. I’m lucky that they don’t have mental illness or major learning disabilities. And b) I know things can change. And c) because they were not easy as kids. I did not find parenting 1-2 kids easy. At the time I was a SAH parent with no outsourced help—no cleaners, no lawn service, no daycare to take them so I felt like a normal human 8 hours a day. My dh worked long hours to provide for us and those long days of cooking, cleaning, caring for the kids were sometimes a slog. I don’t wish on hard times for anyone, but OP, you should either learn how to have perspective and be humble or pray you don’t get thrown a poop sandwich, because karma can be bad[/quote]
