[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If your AC was a very challenging kid, have they matured to the point where you think they would make a good romantic partner and parent? Or do you think the issues will always somewhat be there and come out?

We spent time recently with long-time friends whose DS had a lot of anger issues, lying, verbal lashing out, etc. as a child. I’m glad that they seem to be thriving now in college, but I can’t help but think to myself that I wouldn’t want my DD to date someone who has that in the past.  Yet one might think the person was fine/ok upon initially getting to know them.

We also have a friend whose son may be undiagnosed ASD and had no friends growing up. Social skills seem to have improved a bit since being in college. Of course, there are exceptions to every generalization, but would you want your DD to date this person?

All theoretical, just morning musings.[/quote]

No they don’t change unless putting in active effort and therapy.

Once a baby and child comes along they devolve into their juvenile temper tantruming self and Wifey takes on a mommy role of them. Arguments and divorce ensues.
