What do you think?

Is it the infant/toddler years with of sleepless nights and tantrums? Or school aged years? I have always assumed parenting teens would be the hardest of them all. I’ve heard many say they wouldn’t go back to the baby/toddler years but I find it to be the easiest. You mostly have control of their well being and the ability to protect them. Teenaged years bring about so many variables that I’m truly terrified of, especially in today’s world of social media.

I don’t have kids yet, but taking care of a toddler that depends on you 24/7 to live sounds a hell of a lot more challenging than telling little Saylor to get her skank arse off Instagram

Whenever they get their drivers license until they move out.

ALL parenting years are challenging! The challenges just evolve as the children get older!

Having a kid under 5 for the past 10 years has been very difficult.

My son is 2 and my daughter is only a month old. They’re both pretty exhausting.

I didnt have my daughter until I was 41. What are the chances that the teenage years actually kill me?

Ha I have a three year old and she is my easiest. I think it depends on the kid.

I don’t have to worry about sending them out into the world to make life altering decisions yet. Worst thing we deal with is back talk, sass and trying to steal snacks from the pantry.

The mental challenge of parenting a teen seems daunting to me.
