16-19, haven’t gotten to 20, yet, though.

Depends on the kid... some are easy. Some are little shits. Some are different at different ages.

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

Are we talking about a stay at home wife or dual work responsibilities? If dual, you better get some help around the house.

I have a 16 YO boy and a 14 YO daughter..... teenage girls are frickING MEAN!

For daughters about 12-15. They are basically unrecognizable.

I’m the mom and I work. We have a cleaning lady but I’m about to hire someone to come fold and put away our laundry each week. That’s a totally different topic but since there are about to be 3 kids under the age of 7, I’m all about out sourcing more work to prevent power struggles and stress. Laundry sucks.

My kids are 9 and it definitely has gotten easier and easier each year.
But I'm prepping for that to swing the other way in 3-4 years.

Depends. You put in the effort early on and it will seem like hell, but will pay off with an easier time during later years.
Skim the early years that won't seem too bad and you will actually be in hell later on.

0-3 are the hardest IMO.
Our kids made big strides at 4. Starting school, sleeping through the night in their beds, getting themselves dressed etc. Teenagers may bring more worries and mental anguish, but physically that 0-3 is brutal.

0-2 every minute of every day someone is watching every need.
3- terrible 3’s are bad
4 - best age. I wish they could stay 4 forever. Just don’t forget snack day.
5- school starts turning into school and they start doubting you
6-8 - just kids doing kid stuff. School homework, teachers start trying your patience with all the damn notes home and special days.
9-12 - they start being like mini adults and still hang out with you. Fun times.
13-15 - you are just a source of food and shelter.
16-17 - THE SINGLE WORST. You literally can’t wait for them to leave.
18 - they leave and then you wish you could do it all over again minus the 0-2 part. That part sucks.

I'd take a 2 year old and a little less sleep over a 15 year old all day everyday

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.

The needy demands from 0-2 are pretty consuming. If you do it correctly from 3-10, or so, then the teen years are much easier. When they can speak and have some say, (3-7ish), and you fail to let them know what the deal is, the teen years are your punishment.

Plus two year olds are so much cuter than 15 year olds

I have 7 and 1 year old girls.
I’ll have a teenage girl in my house for 12 straight years.
FML.
