My almost 6 year old has an attitude but listens and is fairly compliant, the newborn is easy but the 2 year old... she is somethin else!

My almost 2 year old is so sweet and cute. She says "ok, mommy!" to everything. It is the best. The 4.5 year old --- not so much! She's not really that hard, but she is more work of the two. mrbee on "Which child is harder these days: the youngest, the oldest or someone in between?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-child-is-harder-these-days-the-youngest-the-oldest-or-someone-in-between#post-1943899 Thu, 13 Nov 2014 20:43:32 +0000 mrbee 1943899@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @Leah: It did get a lot easier!

Our three-year-old youngest child is still so sweet, whereas our almost five-year-old eldest child likes to push on boundaries! I'm hoping that our youngest skips this phase, but I'm an optimist so I've learned to discount my hopes ha. Which child is harder these days: the youngest, the oldest or someone in between?
