What's Next? ~ Life with a Nine Year Old!


Terrible twos. Three-nagers. Feisty Fours. These ages get a bad rap, mostly for good reason: Toddlers are assholes. They behave like the drunk guy at the party: spilling shit everywhere, yelling belligerent nonsense at everyone in sight, and then passing out in the middle of the floor.



They eat all your snacks. They piss themselves, and on the rare occasion they make it to the toilet on time, they get pee all over the seat. When your kids are that age, you look at parents with older children with envy.

And indeed, life gets easier when kids get older and more independent. Or does it? Because a 9-year-old? Ain’t nobody got time for Nine.
