Raising children is hard - TV presenter

6:35 am on 15 April 2010

The presenter of a new Maori Television show on parenting says raising children is the hardest job.

No Sweat Parenting features comedies sketches as well as discussions about family life.

Stacey Morrison, a mother of two, says many Maori have their children young, and they go into it thinking it will be easy.

She told Waatea News it's far harder than any other job and "you really have to be on the ball".

Ms Morrison said young Maori parents may be glad to be assured that times of extreme exhaustion and stress will pass.
