I am in total agreement with beekissed. Neither is (or should be) easy. I have three boys and as a military wife, may as well be a single mom, as my husband has been with us 6 weeks (yes, WEEKS) out of the past 3 years. My kids are still fairly young, 11, 8, and 7. They are all an absolute joy. All VERY different, too. Each have the ways in which they challenge me and each have the ways they delight me. All I know is, I wouldn't trade one second (even the difficult ones) with any of them.
