googie32 (1073.7 days ago) My 9 year old daughter is much more challenging then my 2 year old
RobinG (1073.8 days ago) They each have their own challanges but I`d say age 4 for disobedience. At 2 they are still some what innocent when doing bad thungs as they dont fully grasp what they are doing yet and still learning, age 3 they they are learning a bit more how to fanangle things to be naughty at times, age 4 they knew exactly what they are doing!! At age 2 and 3 they do often know what htey are doing but they are still learning and it is easier not to be as angry since they are still grasping things :) But 4 it is harder on you as a parent. BUT I`d take those days ANYDAY over a 13 year old who is arguing with you, lol. My kids are 16 months, 9 and 13 and ages 10-13 are MUCH harder, lolol.
kimmarie (1073.8 days ago) This is kind of hard to answer. Seems like all the years are challenging. As an newborn/infant I remember walking/bouncing him begging him to sleep at night cause I was so tired. I cried myself many times cause I was so incredibly tired and worked 8 hours a day. He did not sleep through the night till he was 10 months old. (I am a single mom with no one to rely on). He is an asthmatic...also another challenging situation in which I am still dealing with today. It is VERY scary to see your child gasp for air and crying. I`ve spent many days in the ER. Toddler years...oh boy - my son went thru the terrible three`s. As soon as established a little independence that was it. It didn`t matter if I strapped him in the grocery store cart cause he managed to squeeze out of it and just stand up. If I let him sit in the big part in the back he would yell. If I let him walk he took off like a bullet. All in fun and games. I considered so many times to just online grocery shop so that I would avoid all that. Five years old - Kindgerten...was tough. Couldn`t adjust to homework. 1st grade even tougher. I had him repeat first grade again so that year was a bit easier since we both knew what to expect. Now that he is 8 almost 9 in less than 2 months - he has grown even more independence (now 2nd grad). He is already asking me to teach him to drive!!! AHH!! Every year yes is challenging. But I wouldn`t trade it in for the world. I am still a single mom and he makes me stronger each day. Truthfully my son is a very good boy, always has been. I am always complimented on how well behaved and well mannered he is. So I guess I have done something right. I love him as big as the sky!
