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). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-was-harder-3-or-4#post-2787920 Mon, 20 Nov 2017 20:25:08 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2787920@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would say 3 was more difficult but 4 wasn't easy either! 5 has been much better though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-was-harder-3-or-4#post-2787909 Mon, 20 Nov 2017 19:17:14 +0000 Purpledaisy 2787909@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Three was way worse than four with my DD. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-was-harder-3-or-4#post-2787901 Mon, 20 Nov 2017 18:52:18 +0000 Foodnerd81 2787901@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don’t even know. They have been really, really hard. Fingers crossed five is easier? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-was-harder-3-or-4#post-2787845 Mon, 20 Nov 2017 16:03:28 +0000 bhbee 2787845@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-was-harder-3-or-4#post-2787806 Mon, 20 Nov 2017 14:25:15 +0000 Mamatimes3 2787806@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it depends on the kids. My oldest is a pretty easy kid so nothing has been too bad. My middle has been difficult since about 18 months and still is at 3.5. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-was-harder-3-or-4#post-2787802 Mon, 20 Nov 2017 14:17:19 +0000 birdofafeather 2787802@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-was-harder-3-or-4#post-2787777 Mon, 20 Nov 2017 13:09:56 +0000 cascademom 2787777@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Four was pretty awful. 5 has gotten better. There's a lot of attitude, but it's miles different from 4 years old. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-was-harder-3-or-4#post-2787770 Mon, 20 Nov 2017 12:43:54 +0000 erinbaderin 2787770@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-was-harder-3-or-4#post-2787766 Mon, 20 Nov 2017 12:24:56 +0000 Alba4 2787766@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>4 has be hard for us over here. 2 was a dream, there were some tantrums at 3, but 4 has been epic. It gets easier, right? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-was-harder-3-or-4#post-2787765 Mon, 20 Nov 2017 12:23:03 +0000 PinkElephant 2787765@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I’m not voting bc I️ think I️t depends on the kid. DD1 was a piece of cake 2 &amp; 3 year old, but has been a really challenging kid to parent in late 4’s/early 5’s.</p> <p>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! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-was-harder-3-or-4#post-2787755 Mon, 20 Nov 2017 12:06:43 +0000 oskarsmommy 2787755@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Three has been a doozy for us. Trying to manage expectations. :meh: </p>
