[QUOTE="Malika, post: 459898, member: 11227"] Well, perhaps I am contradicting myself - or perhaps it is, as usual, all down to what we mean by words :) Your mention of all your brother's degrees made me think you were talking about academic intelligence. J seems to have more of what I would call a PRACTICAL intelligence. Since I am not overly endowed with this myself, it always impresses me... As for whether I am letting him get away with murder (not literally, bien sur) for the sake of a quiet life... He's definitely oppositional. If you try engaging him in that space by being equally oppositional, he seems to become a horrible little boy. Otherwise he is very sweet. It's odd. Or, more like ODD... but I am not engaging with that particular acronym :) [/QUOTE]
