I'm especially interested to hear from people whose children are grown, since they have a perspective on the whole process.

allowing them to make their own mistakes and learning from them.... also suffering the consequences of their actions .... they are grown and raising their children the same way

Waiting for the twenty or so years to be up. Sharing my house with them. Looking for my tools, which weren't put up. Looking for the remote, which is God only knows where. Buying all those groceries, 3 times a week! Putting them on the airplane to see Grandma and Grandpa for the first time. Boyfriends and girlfriends, oh my! Finding reasonable limits for behavior AND STICKING TO THEM. Homework, homework, more homework. Science projects. Saying "NO!"

I haven't made it to the hard part. My kids are 1 and 2 and I guarantee that the hardest part is the teen years.

Ages 0 to adult! LOL
NO seriously, they all have their challenges. BUT believe me.. every single stage is different and has different problems, and different blessings.
Having kids was the hardest thing I've ever done, but also the most rewarding.

Making sure that they completed the homework/classwork for school!! That was a struggle.
