[QUOTE="donna723, post: 275612, member: 1883"] We had a very complicated family situation back then but my daughter was 100 times worse to contend with than my son was! I was never sure if it was that way for everybody or if it was just my particular two kids. Boys are on a more even keel than girls are. And boys don't seem to go through the mandatory "[I]I HATE MY MOTHER[/I]" phase like girls do! My son might have sometimes 'forgotten' to fill me in on some things that he did, but he never did brazenly look me right in the eye and lie to me like my daughter did. Boys can turn your hair gray with some of their exploits but girls can be flat out mean and sneaky and devious! You have [I]no idea[/I] how much I wish that this board had been around back when my daughter was between the ages of 11 to 16! It's not just my imagination either! She admits it now that she's a grown woman! My daughter just gave birth to a little baby boy three weeks ago. And when she was pregnant, she was tickled to death to find out that he was a boy! She had hoped and [I]prayed[/I] for a little boy! And she told me that the main reason she wanted a boy so badly was that she remembered what a booger [I]she[/I] had been as a pre-teen and a teenager and she had no desire to have to contend with a daughter that might be just like she was!
