[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids are 10, 8 and 4.5 and it has been hard at every step, but in different ways. Of course having 3 it’s more demanding than 1 or 2 and you go through some phases multiple times or for longer periods.
The baby years are hard because of the lack of sleep. That will be over very soon. But after that you have the preschool years, the tantrum, the difficulties detaching, the first school, first friends , etc. In elementary school (where I am) it’s hard because of sports, friendships, homework, school applications, speech therapy, birthday parties, school events. Of course if you only have one kid this will be much more manageable. With 3 kids our weekends are crazy busy with zero time to relax, watch a movie, have brunch, etc. 
There is also the worries that increase with age.

It’s always hard… I thought the baby phase was the hardest, but middle elementary is possibly harder for me because of the crazy scheduling.[/quote]

I also want to mention that I always had a nanny and while she could replace me (and be much better than me) when my kids were infants, she cannot replace me now when the kids need counsel, guidance, direction, etc.[/quote]
