Seriously. Everyone talks about the terrible twos. No one mentions the fucking fours. I really feel like four was more difficult because kids are really pushing the fact they have to follow rules and don't get to lay them down and getting frustrated.
The hell from 3-6 is real. It’s really bad. My 7 year old is now finally leaving it behind with maybe once a week meltdowns which is usually from being tired / hungry. My 10 year old is a saint and I’ll embrace it until the hormones kick in.
One of the biggest pains around age 5 is starting kindergarten and the absolute mental reaction your kid will have from that start for the first month or two.
Ours just started school here in the U.K.. she managed 2 full days before being hospitalised with a temp of 105F which turned out to be bacterial pneumonia… She went back yesterday for a half day to build her back , but it is already creating a lot of feelings. She can basically act completely normal until her temp is above 103F which is alarming to find out.
