Does it get easier?
Many new parents often wonder to themselves if parenting a small child gets easier as they grow older.
In my opinion - yes. It does gets easier - but the problems you deal with get more complex.
It's no longer changing diapers but changing opinions. No need to worry about feeding milk, but feeding junk food. No need to look for baby facilities, but foodcourts with baby chairs.
When they turn 2 and start to be able to form sentences, have ideas and want to debate, that's when you as a parent would have to hone your own debating skills and practice quick on-your-feet strategies for countering small smart-alex fast-mouth talkers who look cute but have everything planned out so they will win. Crying is also in their arsenal of weapons :)
Ahh - what fun it is to have children. Everyday is a new experience.
