[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have 3 kids. Two are just very easy. They pick up their rooms when I ask, they're cheerful, they're eager to please us, they take pride in doing good and in being "good kids." The 3rd is just grumpy and needs "managed". We have to coddle him and speak differently to him. He often needs to know the "why" when we ask him questions, pushes boundaries and he notices everything. He's a very enjoyable, smart kid, but parenting him takes a lot more work. DH and I often can't relate to him because both DH and I are exceptionally easy going, hard working and do things we're told. So I'd say that [b]difficult is related to how much work a parent has to put in.[/b] And sometimes it's a personality mismatch which makes you put in extra work.[/quote] Very good point.[/quote]
