re: Most challenging parenting years

I’m finding that my girl is ten times easier as a toddler/child than my son. She’s naturally more helpful and more mature, and hates to get in trouble so she really doesn’t have to be told more than once about anything.

My son is hell on wheels Has a heart of gold but pushes every limit, climbs every wall, and literally runs at 100 MPH from 6 am-10 pm if he’s allowed to be up that late. I’m thinking maybe the tides will turn once they get a little older.

I’ve been told you pay for boys early, and girls when they’re teens.
