[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I haven’t read through all of these, but I have two kids and one was a very difficult toddler (biting, hitting, etc.) and the other a very easy toddler (always kind and well behaved at school). You get what you get and you don’t get upset! :) [/quote]

+1 here.  When I had a second child I realized you can do the same thing with a different kid and the result can be completely different.[/quote]

As someone with a challenging but rewarding only, I am always relieved when people say this.

I remember in my first-time moms group with babies, everyone else’s baby would be sleeping or quietly eating while my same-age baby was attempting to empty my purse, trying to steal someone else’s bottle, babbling at the top of her lungs, etc. It definitely felt like I was doing something wrong— why doesn’t my baby nap as much? Why is she so active when she eats, why is she more focused on everyone else instead of studying my face like the other babies?

Turns out that’s just who she is, it’s a lot of work but not bad, and I wasn’t doing anything wrong at all!

DS and my niece are very close in age.  I kept hearing my niece was such a GOOD baby.  Did that mean my little infant was BAD?  No...she was just easy and he was not!  There is no such thing as a good baby.[/quote]
