This reminds me, I never commented on your successful eviction; congratulations! (Also, I hope early babyhood isn't too hard on you; it was really hard on me but YMMV.)
This sounds like a rather interesting book. And I haven't done much if any thinking about teenagers, despite the fact I'm going to have one in less than four years, eek.
Anecdata: I feel like the highs are higher and the lows are lower? Like, sometimes I'm just hanging out with the kids and thinking "wow, I've never been this happy in my life, and definitely not while just hanging out, I wish I could bottle this moment and save it." And sometimes the kids are sick and cranky and there might be fluids coming out of places where fluids ought not to come out of and we're all getting on each other's nerves and I think, "I never had to deal with this crap [sometimes literally] before I had kids." Darned if I know how that averages out, though.
