[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a 16-year-old son and nothing has been tough. He is fantastic and independent and makes good decisions. It depends on the kid.[/quote] And very much the kid and not the parents. My first child was a breeze through the teen years. We were so freaking smug for having raised a polite, non-moody, self-starter. We had, clearly, nailed this parenting thing. Then the second child, raised the same way in the exact the same household, turned 14. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. We were blindsided by angst, mercurial attitudes and thinly veiled contempt. FYI, these are both boys. Only 2 years apart. They look so similar people often think they are twins. But they are emotionally hard wired completely differently. [/quote]
