I was just wondering... i know parenting can be exhausting, and I have a baby, and was just wondering other people's experiences to have an idea of what i have to look forward too. Also, you can tell me the good stuff too.

My kids are 2, 7 & 9 but so far the beginning of age 3 was the worse! The terrible 2's had nothing on the 3's...LOL. It is the time when they want to be independent and realize that they can say no. It is also a fun age because they are developing their own personality and come up with the funniest things =)

hold on to your hat, It's all exhausting. Each age has its ups and downs. If I had to pick an age that was the most difficult it would be the early teens. The most uplifting were the years two through four. It may sound crazy but I think children learn more in those years than any other. Good luck and be patient.

I raised six children and found the early years to be easy compared to the teen years. I had more control over the dangers a small child would encounter.
A lot would depend on the parent. I have friends who had a hard time with toddlers but were great with teens... and vice versa. It's really an individual thing.

My oldest is 14 now so I can honestly say that the years from 2 to 14 are pretty bad. Naw, really 2-5 is pretty rough. It starts getting easier at 4. If it's a girl, expect it to be tough very early on and the once puberty hits and from them until they are about 30....if you're lucky!

you recognize this is ironic how atheists do not teach their babies approximately faith because of fact they're atheists yet, they think of this is incorrect for Christians to teach their babies approximately Christ. The Atheists' newborn will maximum probable not even provide Christianity a raffle while a Christians' newborn will yet, riot at cases come into play and finally they'll make up their very own minds besides the fact that if or not they suspect or not. Scripture says that in case you enhance your newborn interior the techniques of the Lord that while they're previous they'll return to it. What Atheists deem ethical and precise for them they don't deem ethical and precise for the Believer. Hypocrites.

everyday is a good day, no matter how frustrated i get, at the end of the day i am happy to have my children. The most difficult times for me was teething with my daughter, this was awful, i eventually found things that helped with that, so it got better. My son is 15 months and the worst thing i have gone through with him is sleeping through the night. My daughter slept from 8 pm to 9 am since she was born. at first i woke her to feed her. but my son would wake up in the middle of the night until he was 13 months old. i thought it would never end. now i just am having a problem with develpmental delays with him, but all is well, and i am thankful for evey minute with them

With my daughter, it was 4 yrs. She threw terrible tantrums. I just ingored her and eventually they went away.
With our oldest, who is turning 16 in a couple of wks, NOW it frustrating. He doesn't tell us important things (like that his $85 calculator was stolen at school) and when he does tell us something, it is usually with some attitude.
All ages come with "frustrations" but when I step back and look at the stage each of our four children are at, I marvel at how far they've come....and how quickly!!

For me it was very early puberty, because I was in the midst's of a separation from her father and sometimes we were both stressed. But we muddled through. My daughter was a terrific baby...and although her "terrible twos" were a bit horrific I had a blast with her as a toddler. She was just so animated and funny.

So far 0 - 14 1/2.
There are no good or bad ages, just a mixture of the two.
At the moment, we are at the stage where TWO grunts is "War and Peace".
