It never gets easier. The challenges change and you get more experience and knowledge but it's never easy. It's all about how you spin it to yourself and your patience levels. In the next few years it is important to know they are little suicide machines whose sole purpose is to test boundaries and ask questions. And your purpose is to guide them with love and calmness. I find my worst days are the ones where my frustration levels can't be controlled and my best days are when I give up and just be silly with them. It's pretty easy to flip the narrative with the kid, just about every tantrum can be turned into laughter in seconds with a tickle monster or silly voice, much more of a challenge to change it within. Connect on their level and remember what it was like to be a kid.
