I’m not voting bc I️ think I️t depends on the kid. DD1 was a piece of cake 2 & 3 year old, but has been a really challenging kid to parent in late 4’s/early 5’s.

DD2 is much more of a “threenager”, and DD3 has been throwing some almost hilariously epic tantrums at 13 months!! I sincerely hope the kids who do I earlier get it out of their system sooner!

Oh no, you mean ages! I was hoping you meant number of kids. Three has been tough (compared to two, anyway) - I was hoping four would be easier!

3 almost killed me with my oldest. She still has tough times with 4 but it’s not constant and she is getting a better grip of her emotions.

3 was by far the worst with my now almost 6yo girl. I have heard boys tend to be harder a little older so I’ll be interested to see with my second how true it is for us.

Three was way worse than four with my DD.

Maybe I'm counting my eggs before they hatch but 20 days into 4 and it's looking better (a week into 3 was when she turned into a threenager so at least I have history to fall back on). I have to say that the easiest stage I think is 12 or 15 months - 2.5 years. I'm realizing I have a hard time dealing with real human beings (read: anyone over 3).
