Tiring maybe. Or the parents are out for the night. Or the boards get slower the older the kids get. My 5 year old daughters board is basically dead now, but I still check it from time to time (on a different site).
My 21 month old is definitely harder to deal with than my newborn. HOWEVER, my 21 month old goes to bed at 7 every night, and sleeps until morning with the exception of a few "is mommy here checks" throughout the night, unlike the newborn who keeps me up for hours everynight.
I have an almost 2 yr old. He's crazy and into everything. I might get him to nap for an hour if I'm lucky. He's awake from 6:30 am- 9pm, going strong the whole time (minus the nap). Its definitely a different type challenge. But I will say I do get consistent sleep every single night. So I can't complain about that part!

I guess the challenges just change!
You have no idea.
