[QUOTE="Just keep swimming, post: 40541, member: 211"] Nomad, For someone who has raised 2 through the typical teen stage and survived, LOL, I totally agree. I wanted also to add that typical teen's do seem to learn the first, well maybe second time from horrible typical teen stuff. But, I am guessing, not quite there with Aly but envisioning it as I am typing, that difficult child's do not or are not capable of learning that first or second time. It is that MAJOR impulse control deficit that will get my Aly into trouble if she is not "micro-managed". When I hear parents of typical teen or "Perfect children" complain about dirty towels on the floor, or staying out 1/2 hour after curfew, sometimes I want to bop them one! I just smile and say, "ya, that's too bad" or something equally lame! What I really want to say is "OMG, do you have ANY idea what I put up with day in and day out and still manage to stay a tiny bit sane?!?!?!?" Sorry, didn't mean to spin out on this! LOL!! Interesting topic Heather, thanks for posting! Hugs, Vickie [/QUOTE]
