I was thinking about your statement concerning people saying parenting aint easy and how its relatively easy for you and a few things came to mind.

1) you are using daycare which pretty much limits your responsibility to your children. This inherently lowers the amount of time you have to deal with the short term needs of your children.
2) the ages of your children means you are pretty much past the point of having to change 10-20 diapers daily or have a child crying with no means of communicating their short team needs. Your kids are old enough that they can tell you when they are hungry, tired, want attention, are cold or hot, or need to use the bathroom. The first year of traditional parenting where your kid has limited methods of communication seems to be a lot different than once they can start communicating
3) from what I understand from people whove had kids that have grown up, the older they get the bigger the problems are and the harder it is for your children to respect your authority. You may have it somewhat easier in that respect though because your older ones have an idea of how good theyve got it with you rather than their biological parents
