Not sure if by big mess of madness you're referring to the state of the world as a whole, or referring directly to your daughter—the world gonna do what the world gonna do. Fortunately, with children, parents still have some influence for good in their lives in spite of everything happening around them. Until somewhere in the preteen/teen age. That seems to be where you learn whether or not you've gotten through. :) I guess it still happens after that but the relationship starts to shift.

It might be the world at large affecting everything in general. Nah, generally they are very good. Quite demanding. If anything, it's just me being an old bastard by the time I decided to have kids and struggling with how crazy and energetic they can be!
Well, I guess we'll hold out for being being able to carve out a sliver of sanctuary amidst all the chaos then.
And it is totally unfair how age treats us. Just when we've got things figured out it decides that the body that has been energetic and getting away with all kinds of things no longer can. Poof! When getting out of bed hurts more than actually doing something to deserve it, it's time to give the old aging process the what for! Haven't quite figured out how to do that, but I'll let you know if I come up with something. :) Bottle it. Sell it. Make billions. Blah, blah, blah.
