it gets harder but you have adapted to the preceeding stage.

    I dunno, the 'kid is intelligent enough to go to the fridge and get food themselves' and 'kid no longer craps their pants' is a hell of an upgrade. I haven't made it to a point where things are harder than it was before either of those things.

    to be fair to you, I adapt a lot , some well, some not well, but adapting to the constant resistence and fighting is something I haven't adapted to yet. It's one thing to change a nappy, it's another to change a nappy attached to a screaming, squirming child

    Thanks, I was reading this as pertaining to subsequent children, not stages, and was confused

    I guess it does get easier with subsequent children, your mileage may vary, but also, you do stop giving as much of a fuck if you have more kids, especially if you go from "individual attention" mode to "manage the herd" mode.
