[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your current perspective is highly influenced by a 1 and 3 year old. They are hard years!  It seems you can never finish a task before someone needs something from you. This s is temporary and it will slow down. That said, my DH and I are 69 and 70 and life is good. We are both active, travel when we want, and are able and willing to help with our new baby grandchild. My only suggestion is to focus on your young family and your relationship with your spouse. The rest really isn’t that important.[/quote]

Honestly, as a parent of young adults, I would rather trade these for the sweet years of taking care of a 1 and 3 year old.  They are physically needy, but pretty emotionally easy.  Cute and fun.  The problems that can occur in late teenage, early adult years are bigger, more emotionally draining and largely out of your control.  Enjoy your time now.[/quote]

I enjoyed my kids' adolescence and early adulthood much, much more than when they were 3 and 1. Lack of sleep is a killer.[/quote]
