Parenting is hard work/ Parenting

Being a parent is such hard work, I used to want six kids and now I think I'll stick to three. My youngest who is almost three is making me crazy. She tests me every minute that she can. She loves to push my buttons. Nothing works either, I try time outs, I ignore her but she is so strong willed. On the other hand she can be such a sweet heart. She loves watching me get ready in the morning, she hands me all my make up. Its so sweet she trys to do everything just like me. She is just so demanding. I can't seem to please her. She wants Barney, she wants blocks, bologna, I can't keep up. My two older children were never like that. They had their moments, but nothing like this girl. They are all hitting different phases in their sweet little lives. My son is acting so much older wanting to be more independent, I can't even kiss him at the bus stop any more. My older daughter just acts so much older she has been giving out her phone number at school, in one night we had 4 girls calling for her. She cracks me up. Well and my youngest she does not seem to be getting any better. I hear that three's are sometimes worse than two's. I guess we shall see.
