Teenagers?? Dun they tend to act more on their own? Wun it be difficult to convey parents' message across to them? :scratchhead:
I personally like the teenage years better. They tend to be more responsible. Can take care of themselves.
Mine has gone from terrible twos to an even worse threes, leh.....exactly on his birthday some more. ;( -

No. I like that they are more independent. I have 2 teenagers 17 & 14, and another that I can't wait for him to become a teenager. He's now 12. Compare that to our 3year old - can pengsan.

:rotflmao: :rotflmao:
yes phankao, comparing like that, definitely the teenagers are better. i can't wait! -
My kids haven’t reached teenage stage yet…so I don’t know how they will turn out to be…but comparing the stages between baby, toddler, kindergarten and the present (7 and 11 year old), I definitely prefer now although they fight all the time. At the very least, I don’t have to cook porridge before we go out each time. The 1-3 year old stage was tough.

It hit the nail!! Fancy rushing to cook before we go out sometimes damper my spirits n despite our efforts, they may want to eat outside food more than the home cooked porridge :frustrated: -

Ha, I always heard from my older friends have this saying - as kids grow older, their problems get bigger? Issues like rebellious, not listening with a mind of their own, hardly communicate or prefer friends more than family, more $$$.

Hi Janet, totally agreed. I can't wait for my dd2 to grow up. She is now approaching 9 mth old. Bringing her out really very troublesome, hv to 大包小包. The most toughest stage is to toilet-training.
My dd1 who is now 6 yo, approaching another milestone of her life which is entering to P1 next year. Coaching her on hmwk already made me feeling like knocking against the wall....really :slapshead: n :mad: .
Conclusion - I definitely prefer the age of 4 if I can turn back the clock for my dd1. -
With 2 kids now 10 & 11, I actually prefer them when they were between 3-5yo. Perhaps I'm biased, but I felt that my 2 kids were quite sweet & cute and rather 'good-tempered' in a way. Dun really remember them throwing big tantrums or sulk....quite easy to 'tame'
and cuddly too. Only had to worry about their day-to-day cos' still dependent on us......
Wonder what happen now......seems like they 'changed' after i become SAHM?!?! :oops: :scared: So I dun know what will happen when they reach teenager stage..... :nailbite:
