I am NOT liking 2 years, 8 months....hitting at its all time worst!  I am hoping this is the hardest age/stage but I have a feeling it may only get worse....

    27-28 months was bad for us.  2 hour tantrums were pretty much a daily occurance.  I started using "Love and Logic" techniques at that point as well as reminding myself that I had to change-up my parenting based on her age and things got much better.

    Right around the 6th birthday.  It is when DD tested every boundary and drove me nuts.

    honestly, the newborn stage.  My DC'ren were so colicky and I had major issues with milk supply.  My DS cried all day and all night.  I was miserable.  DD was a bit better, plus I knew there was an end in sight.

    DS is a wonderful toddler.

    I actually found 18 mos ish very frustrating b/c I'm good w/babies but the toddler thing I need help with.  Then by the time I figured out the toddler thing he turned 3.  3 is not for the faint of heart.  But it's also more rewarding b/c he's quite funny now (has a little sense of humor).  So I'd have to say 15-18 mos.  For whatever reason I found that very stressful.

    Definitely right now at 3.

    I just sent DS to his room for an early nap because I caught him swinging our kitten around by her tail (WTF!)! I was in the bathroom when I heard the kitten crying. This is just one of his many antics. I am trying not to lose my mind!

    0-9 months when she finally started sleeping through the night.  She has been an Angel since & I'm getting scared for 3 from everything I hear.

    The newborn stage.  Hate it.  I hate being up all around the clock, trying to figure out a new baby, and dealing with a grumpy H.  If I could skip the newborn stage, I might just have another kid, but since I can't, that won't be happening.
