I think teens are worst than kids, but a wholesome teen is probably better than a kid full of problems.... it depends...

I think everything is relative.

I think the saying is true, because who can define what a "big" problem is and what a "small" problem is?
When they're older they're making major decisions that will affect their lives but when they're small, its the broken dishes and the diapers and those kinds of things that we think are so overwhelming, until we realize that the glass vase and the age they were toilet trained didn't matter when a decision about what Yeshiva/High School they'll go to, and what Sem, etc, and who they'll marry (unless the age of toilet training is in the application form for shidduchim!!)

It means to say that when your kids are babies you get worn out because you’re working very hard physically (holding them, bathing them, diapering, schlepping and feeding) and when they get older and you can take a break from that hard work, then comes the stage where they penetrate your brain and you feel like you’re losing your mind. Mothers of young children keep saying ‘I’m collapsing, I’m exhausted, I didn’t sleep since my baby was born’ and they will take physical vacations (Florida, waxings, etc.) and mothers with teens will say “I can’t think, I don’t want to argue” and will take mental breaks “sleep, shop, visit the nursing home, etc.

I heard a nice one at wedding "Kleine kinder, kleine nachas, Groyse kinder, groyse nachas." The harder it is, the more nachas you get  .

Oh boy!!! That will be next!! (I only wish I were joking).Seriously, we have a 3 year old and are already thinking (and even are being told by "helpful" people )"This or that" will affect his shidduch. So if it has gotten to the point where everything is under scrutiny, from day one, All problems are big problems and are for public consumption!
Or maybe I"m just in a paranoid mood?

I'm beginning to think the toilet training part IS going to be there. bang head against wall.
seriously, there's a reason we have such expressions right? Little kids aren't going through changing hormones and all that stuff. I suppose it doesn't have to be true but I have no way of knowing since I don't have groisse kinder yet!

My children are kleine, but my sil has groise, and from talking to her (and they are sweet, frum aidel kinder!) I tend to agree with that and with withhumor! As she put, it kleine kinder take up a lot of physical energy and groise kinder take up a lot of emotional energy. Maybe that's why Hashem gives us kleine kinder when we're younger with more physical energy and groise kinder when we're older and hopefully wiser!

I guess the plan of Hashem is that we grow up together with our children, so we grow wiser with them. by the time they start attacking our brain, you’re supposedly ready.
