So...basically...every age has it's difficulties, lol.

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!

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!

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.

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)

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

@erwoo: lol boys are hard!!

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!

I'm at the tail end of 5, and it's been easier than most years...but he's always been a pretty easy kid.

I've heard that the beginning of each year (right when they turn a year older) they're worse and then the middle of the year is much better. Seems to be true for us.
