I was a pretty bad, low-attention dad to my kids. I now have two grandsons and trying to really focus with them. It is a completely different experience.

I’m shocked so many are choosing toddler years. Those years suck

It's younger dads who only have toddlers and older dad reminiscing.

Sounds like a poor parenting issue. My toddlers were delightful

You have girls or boys? Everyone I talk to with boys say it sucks and girls say

Girl, boy, boy, girl exactly 2 years apart. A lot is a result of personality

My teen boys were great, my teem girls were a nightmare until around 18.

I think the teen years are entirely dependent on the parents. If you didn't like the teen years, you blew it.

What age do kids start letting you take a dump in private?

Lakerone

I've had more fun with my 18 yr old son these last couple years than all prior 16 years of his life combined

12 - 14 or 15 was AWEFUL ... but 16-18 actually pretty fun ...

7-9. The kids are still innocent and still think I’m funny.

Yes I agree...I don’t mind the first year besides lack of sleep, but 2-4 is bad
