Seems to be true for us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-true#post-758977 Fri, 03 May 2013 06:43:58 +0000 erwoo 758977@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HLK208: Yep, same here. Only a week or so into the 4s and it's still quite difficult, especially since we're not napping every day now. No naps = wild child around dinner time to bed time for us. I loved the 1-2s. Although, I think it'll be different with my 13-month-old. LOL! He's already a tough one! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-true#post-758877 Thu, 02 May 2013 23:59:29 +0000 HLK208 758877@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@erwoo: lol boys are hard!!</p> <p>I think it depends on the child. 1-2 were super easy. 3 was unbelievably hard. 4...we are only a few weeks in so I can't tell you yet (but so far, no bueno). Also, there are really GOOD times within all those years too and I'm trying to focus on those! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-true#post-758821 Thu, 02 May 2013 22:52:11 +0000 erwoo 758821@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Generally from all the conversations I've had with friends and strangers with boys and girls are... girls are easier than boys and boys are just hard period, especially the younger years. Girls are harder starting grade school. I have two boys and my grey hair just keeps on coming! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-true#post-757030 Thu, 02 May 2013 13:50:00 +0000 StbHisMrs 757030@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always thought this was funny, my son's behavior was best at age two! I called his three's the terrible three's, then he was much better at four, horrible at five and he hasn't really outgrown it and he's eleven! Every year has it's ups and downs </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-true#post-757029 Thu, 02 May 2013 13:49:54 +0000 heffalump 757029@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel like every new year is difficult because you're dealing with new things. You think you finally figure something out and figured out to handle LO.... and then they change and create a whole new set of problems. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-true#post-757027 Thu, 02 May 2013 13:49:41 +0000 runsyellowlites 757027@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>3 was definitely worse than 2 for G but afterwards we haven't really had any issues. Another asserting ones self stage has recently been going on at 8, you can tell he's starting to want more control of *his* life, it's leveled out again though.</p> <p>We'll have to see how P is, she's 12.5 and has never thrown a fit, not from what I can tell anyways! (Don't know if that makes me happy or scares the crap out of me for when she does combust) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-true#post-757021 Thu, 02 May 2013 13:48:32 +0000 Koolbreeze 757021@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>3's have been much much harder than the 2's with DS1! He's almost 4 and lately it's been a little better. Here's to hoping it continue to get better and better. :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-true#post-757007 Thu, 02 May 2013 13:45:56 +0000 Mrs. Cowgirl 757007@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>three has been SO much worse than 2. SO MUCH WORSE. my friends have also said that every odd year seems particularly difficult...i pray four is better! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-true#post-757005 Thu, 02 May 2013 13:45:35 +0000 Honeybee 757005@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Three has been the hardest age so far for my daughter. Two seemed bad... until one year later. :)</p> <p>I heard 4-6 is the "golden years"! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-true#post-757001 Thu, 02 May 2013 13:44:53 +0000 LuLu Mom 757001@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've always thought 3 was worse than 2, but I won't know for a couple years. I think it does depend on the kid! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-true#post-756986 Thu, 02 May 2013 13:42:48 +0000 JoyfulKiwi 756986@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha. My friend said her second son missed his Terrible Twos, but hit it hard with the F***ker Fours! I think it depends on the kid :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-true#post-756962 Thu, 02 May 2013 13:39:47 +0000 lovehoneybee 756962@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So...basically...every age has it's difficulties, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-true#post-754454 Thu, 02 May 2013 13:30:00 +0000 MaisyMay 754454@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My in-laws said that every odd year was hard for them (1, 3, 5, etc). Then I saw this today:<br /> Terrible 2's<br /> Trying 3's<br /> Furious 4's<br /> Fearsome 5's</p> <p>Is this true? </p>
