When does parenting become less difficult?

I know… it never becomes easy. But at what age did you find it became a little less difficult? At ages 1 and 3 I spend all day changing diapers, making food, cleaning messes, washing bottles and sippy cups, coregulating emotions, stopping fighting, rocking to sleep, waking up 2 times in the night… it’s seriously exhausting.

He’s been crying for hours

He’s 3 and a half months, my health visitor says he’s started his 4 month sleep regression. He’s been crying for a few hours now, I’ve bounced, swayed, walked, worn him in his sling, changed his nappy, given him a bath, and pretty much everything I can’t think of, and he just won’t stop. This is the first time he’s been completely inconsolable. I’m not even angry or upset, just so exhausted. How people survive with a baby and a toddler I don’t know. You people are superheroes

“He thought driving was going to be super intuitive,” says Carole, mom of Lucas, a newly-licensed driver. “When we started, he was like, ‘Whoa, this is not at all what I thought it was going to be!’” https://t.co/AF2ypmUKED https://t.co/Tr6STfzLnY

“You don’t get to the end of the journey and you’re suddenly anti-racist.” These takeaways from an International Literacy Association panel conversation illustrate the power educators hold in either perpetuating or disrupting racism. @KaraNewhouse https://t.co/0ineImjBjc

“Getting his license was the easy part. Standing back and figuring out how to when to step in and when to step back…THAT was — is — the hard part.” https://t.co/xYkuNwFubS https://t.co/HyW0GAnMKN

Update: Zoey has been found!!

[Original Post](https://www.reddit.com/r/Parenting/comments/qie1mm/who_the_heck_is_zoey/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf) As you know, my toddler desperately wanted Zoey. I could not find Zoey. The more I asked, the less cooperative he got. He started calling everything Zoey, just to appease me, the most notable Zoey was my infants sleep sack. I appreciate everyone’s help in trying to find out what Zoey was. Possible suspects were Bluey, Sully, Toy Story, my dog Spody. But none of these were correct. As I turned on the Super Simple Songs Halloween special for the five hundredth time this week he shouts “ZOEY!” Zoey is Tobee from Sing along with Tobee. I appreciate the solidarity I received. We can all move on. Happy Halloween!

What's normal for a 16yo (m)

So my mother told me today I've raised my kids "young" and it's wrong that my 16 yo son comes for a cuddle in my bed (all clothed etc) before bed for 5 minutes or so and he often cwtches in on the sofa with me. If it matters I'm a 2 parent family with multiple kids of different ages, all my kids are cuddly and we say I love u all the time. Am I doing this wrong?

Education demands, then, only this: the utilisation of the inner powers of the child for his own instruction. -Montessori, #parenting

He’s 16 now, but I’m setting the stage for our relationship moving forward. Now, he’s become the driver. https://t.co/xYkuNwFubS https://t.co/1qiArMPYiT
