I think this really just depends on the child! Two of mine were super super easy, as babies, toddlers, kids, and one teenager now who is still amazingly laid back. The third- let's just say she came out ANGRY and stayed that way! She was not easy as a baby, or a toddler, or a child (she's 6 now) but I will say that the older she gets and the better she can communicate, the easier things have been.
I find my twin girls are getting easier the older they get. The beginning was rough.. staying up almost all night to feed, change etc.. They depend on you 24/7.. it wears on you, especially two. I remember when they could hold their own bottle was such a relief..
They're two now and it's 1000x easier. They use forks and spoons.. not only can eat "real" food but you don't have to cut everything up in such small pieces unless it's meat.. everything else they chomp bites out of..
They also want to help out a lot now.. I told my wife let them.. I think it cute to watch them hand me a dish from the dishwasher or what have you.. they seem to get satisfaction out of it lol.
