To wonder if it gets easier?

I have a 2 year old DD and a 3 year old DS and I am currently finding it exhausting. Some days I hate every minute of it and wonder if we should ever have had children. My 3 year old is nearly 4 and argues and kicks off about every single thing and drives me insane. My biggest fear is that this is the easiest time and it will just get progressively harder.

by the time they are 25 and 26 you'll be getting the odd day off...

it changes, rather than gets easier, but your physical input is less as they get older. they will require taxi service though...

I found (with a 19 month age gap between DS and DD) that once they were both past age 3 it definitely got easier, until they were about 11-12 when we seemed to hit a patch when they both argued for a year or two. Now they are 14 and 16 and I am loving having two teenagers (most of the time).

Don't worry, it does get easier as they get older (and more logical)

Yep - when you have both in primary school - but some days will still be shit xxx
