to think being a parent gets easier?

[Inbl00m]

Dd is 16 weeks, and I'd mentally prepared myself for having a baby to be "the hardest thing" I'd ever do, and still it's WAY harder. My mum says every stage is hard because you've never done it before. DH isn't very reassuring as he believes it only gets harder from here. I can't help but think it MUST be a bit easier when they can at least sit up for themselves... Aibu?

zing don't over think it! It will be what it will be! They change so very quickly once they get to 12 that you really can't predict what's going to happen and when it is. Don't try and cross bridges until they need to be crossed.
My teen boys are 15 and 16 and booth totally different. 16 year old has never given us trouble as such but is moody, selfish and somewhat unpleasant to be around
15 year old swings between charm and horror. He's not doing horrendous things press he's just morphed into a huge hairy grunting creature whose anger can be explosive,.
13 year old teen dd1 is an absolute nightmare, clever know it all, dismissive, back chats swears,cruel to younger sibs, secretive blah blah blah. I have to remind myself that she's still a child and is struggling with all sorts. I was a horrific teen and I think it's come to bite me on the bum.
