A q for Parents with grown up children?

December2012 · 2013-05-07 21:52:45

To those of you whose children are grown up or nearly there, tell me please, as a mother to two preschoolers (2 and 4),....... Does parenting get easier? When? My kids are great but right now they're all consuming. Messy little tykes too, but I don't mind that - although I do look forward to them being old and able enough…

A big age gap has its advantages, I have 12 years between my 1st and 2nd, so we have a built in babysitter! The older girl loves the chance to be responsible and loves her brother. But yes the gap in worries is a big one eg worrying about what the 2 year old is eating verses sex, drugs and all that for the older girl.
