[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 365153, member: 3444"] Part of it might be puberty... he is just SUCH a different animal than difficult child 1. He cares about his hair, his clothes, accessories, shoes -- all things difficult child 1 could care less about. He is VERY open about his attraction to girls, and thanks to husband (NOT -- for some bizarre male reason he points out cute girls and asks difficult child 2 if he likes them, and difficult child 1 is usually mortified when he hears this) he makes no effort to conceal when he notices them in public (think WHIPLASH). Make no doubt, I am quick to lecture him on the importance of being discrete in ALL things related to women. No one likes to be gawked at. A friendly smile is one thing, but staring is not going to be received very well. Some days I feel like I am raising a mini-husband, and some aspects of that worry me. Glad that I have influence and can affect a better outcome (hopefully), but concerned about the issues I'm going to have to deal with in him, especially the hypersexual aspects of BiPolar (BP) AND his personality in general. No, Susie, when I gave birth to him, I never imagined having to grapple with ANY of these issues. I guess we're all a bit naive, huh? :whiteflag: [/QUOTE]
