"I hate to tell you, but it only gets worse..." from parents with older kids...?
Answers:
I had many children and now am a grandma. This was ALWAYS a pet peeve when I was a new mother, when others would be so negative! One example was that people constantly warned about the awful teenage years, and the other time is the "terrible twos". This kind of feedback is not helpful at all.
To be very honest, I loved my children at all ages and it kept getting better and more enjoyable as a mom. If you expect that your children will not be problems, and that it won't be difficult, they will respond in a more positive way. Kids pick up on those attitudes and act as the are expected to.
You are wise to recognize that this is very discouraging and also NOT TRUE! Enjoy the time with your children, and know that each year of their life is a very special time!
its probably the undeniable truth.
