At what age does parenting become easier? If your answer is never please say it quietly to yourself or just lie in your comment

Ages 6-8 were pretty good. I dependant but still nice

I’d say physically parenting gets easier with each year… sleep too. But then emotionally parenting them gets harder. Teens can be brutal and heart wrenchingly worrying without much control unless you’ve laid good groundwork in earlier years.

Honestly, someone said it before… the problems just change but it’s always hard. And fucking wonderful at times too

I have 3 dds 17 year old, is mostly good, 26 year old is bloody hard work, 10 year old is a nightmare, raging ball of hormones, I hope it gets easier soon!

I guess it must depend on the individual but for me it was 36 - I was a much better parent once I got to 36, kinder and more patient. I'll be 40 soon and I'm hoping by then I will have really cracked it...

my 2 were both okay at about 16, even better when they passed their driving test

@Chickychoccyegg. Your 26-year-old is hard work?
