The first time someone said this to me, I didn’t really understand what it meant:
“Little kids, little problems. Big kids, big problems.”
This year has been the first time I’ve fully comprehended the meaning of it.
Raising kids is tough. Each year there are new challenges to deal with and I’ve often found myself wondering how on earth I’m meant to know what to do, and how I can avoid doing the wrong thing.
Being a parent is the hardest job in the world and we do it without any training at all. Everything we know about raising kids is learned from friends, family, TV shows, movies and books. The rest we figure out as we go along.

For me, resilience, the ability to persevere and delay gratification, and self-confidence is more important than happiness. They won't be happy if they are insecure, question their decisions to death, don't understand you'll get nowhere without hard work and commitment, and can't cope with adversity.
There it is again.. the hardest job in the world. No being a parent is not the hardest job in the world. Not even close.
Okay, so what is in your opinion?
