When did you stop being able to carry your child?

[JurasicPerks]

Carrying a screaming, thrashing child is obviously harder than a cooperative one, but roughly what age do you think you stopped being able to
a) pick up a tantruming child?
b) pick up a cooperative child?

For me, I could scoop up a tantruming 4 year old, but never really tested after that sort of age.

I can still hold my 10 year old - and he does come for cuddles that involve me having him on my hip.... From comments I've seen on other threads this is unusual?

I haven't been able to have any of them on my hip past about 5! They are all big though. I used to pick up other people's DC and marvel at how light they were! DS 1 is now nearly 18 and 6ft7 for context.

I'll never stop. Never. I'll be like one of the Women of Weinberg when my kids are middle-aged.

DS is 6 and tall for his age but slim. I picked up the other day and he was heavy but I could carry him
