[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 389594"] Nancy, once again your situation and mine sound so similar except you have a daughter and I have a son! The lying and stealing started very early with our son as well and we never could really get a handle on it. And what you say about adoption issues are so true. You think, especially when you get a child as an infant, that love and care and a good environment is what really matters. Of course it does matter as I sometimes think gee what would have happened to my difficult child ifi he had spent his early life in foster care.... that would have been an utter disaster. BUT really I don't think we know enough about the role of genetics in personality development..... I am just so convinced at this part that they play a much bigger role than previously thought. I really think some of my sons issues are due to his wiring. I also have a daughter who is easy as they come and a very together young women (age 15). She was also adopted but she was easy from the get go and actually helped me realize that my sons behavior was not all my fault, was not just due to my parenting. I am thankful for this because it really helped me to see it was not all me. [/QUOTE]
