My daughters are 8,10,11,13. I forgot the difficulty of the early years. I would not switch teen drama for changing nappies or dealing with a toddler’s melt down. Sleep is getting better. We do breakfast at 11 or 12 on Sundays.

0 11+ esp as one who had a kid who was hungry every 2 hours and I was the one 🤱🏾 1-5 3 (was fun as we look back at the journals we wrote together about this period.) Preteen is a whole other level of patience.. Debating w a mini version of yourself and your partner daily is a true test of your whole being...

This is interesting to see the results, perhaps it was due to our circumstances and my wife might disagree but the first couple of years were pretty easy for each of our three kids. Challenges with balancing after the second arrived. But huge caveat, my wife stayed home with the kids, and is primary caregiver.

i had a 10 only for the first 3 months of my 2nd child. I think there's a lot of variation in the first 2-3 years depending on child, but generally high 8-9. Past 3, it's a pretty steady 6-7. each of those metrics ebbs and flows but it's all been pretty good. the pace of dramatic change slows as they age. :)

First kid: 0: 9 1: 3 2: 5 3: 8 4: 7 5: 1 Second: 0: 3 1: 1 2: 4 3: 5 4: 9 5: ? (My second is 4) I was 22 when we had our first which contributed a lot to that first age 0 score. I think the "terrible twos" can be anywhere from 2-4 so the difficulty level there varies. I find parenting kids with reason much easier.

Older kids = older than 5? 0 - 9 1 - 8 2 - 5 3 - 5 4 - 5/6/7 5 - 5/6/7 But depends on the kid, whether it’s the 1st kid or after the 1st, and whether or not the kid in question is neurodiverse at all.. kids can be pretty rigid as it is and extra rigidity due to nuero-spiciness can make it harder for sure.

meta comment: regardless of their age, getting used to the existence of another sibling is gonna be a tough year. so maybe add +2 for that factor lol
