Juggling 5

And that is just the kids. While I am usually pretty comfortable in my parenting I am beginning to wonder what the heck I am supposed to do with a few of these kids.
Zayden is one of my more challenging kids. The others are touchy feely dorks like me and their dad, but Zayden just isn't the same. It surprises others when I tell them he is my most difficult to deal with. It is like he's too old for his age. While still constantly competing against Zachary. He acts completely annoyed that I am his mom. Like he would rather be parented by someone else. When Tony is around it is much more balanced but it isn't like Zayden is good for Tony either. I feel my little boy being completely different than what he used to be. I don't think there is a problem just that I feel like I miss him. He was such a cuddle bug and he loved to work but now he is like an angry, grumpy old man. I want him to enjoy and be excited for life while maintaining a routine. I need something to excite him. I am just to boring. 
Then there is Zander. He is different in a different at than Zayden. He frustrates me everyday. He is such a fun loving little guy demanding yet go with the flow of 3 big brothers. He is his daddy's boy. He gets the biggest light in his eyes for his daddy. While that isn't weird it is certainly different at our house. The army has been pretty demanding of Tony when the older 3 were younger toddler age. While loving his daddy so much is different it isn't where my concerns lie. Hope I am just worrying about nothing.
