When us mum discuss kids we often hear questions such as which is the toughest stage in raising children each we are not surprised to find that our opinions are vastly different from one others. Don't be surprised to hear one mum shout at that theforst year is the hardest because she could never even take a shower while another complains her terrible two tantrums have been the most difficult to handle so far.

I recall my dad once saying that he and my mum thought that all problems will be over once the kids grow up and become independent. However a whole new set of problems start emerging which probably get worse and worse.

My idea is that every stage of life comes with it's own package of problems. None of us are parenting experts and none of us have heard of a Bachelors or Masters in Parenting. However we all know it is a science by itself and that we all learn from our experience and mistakes.

We know for a fact that the new born blues, the toddler blues, the toilet training nightmares, the first days at school, the food wars will end and the temper tantrums will fade.
