Yeah, so why did I think I could write 30 posts in 30 days? It’s friggin’ HARD! I mean, it’d be a lot easier if I had fun and interesting things to report, but I really don’t. Unless you want to talk about belligerent 6 year olds.
I’m not sure I understand when kids were suddenly able to talk back to their parents. I’m pretty sure I didn’t start doing it until I was at least 12, but now there seems to be no age limit. Okay, I’m fortunate in that I haven’t heard “I hate you” … yet … but the door slamming and screaming reminds me of my teenage years. Where do they learn that? Sure, I’ve had arguments with my husband, but certainly nothing that extreme. Does he get from Hannah Montana? Zack & Cody? Mario & Luigi? I don’t think so.
Maybe he’s taking a reverse path; being the obnoxious teenager now and in ten years he’s going to be a sweet little boy. Yeah, fingers crossed!

lol – Don’t keep your fingers crossed too long. I think in general boys don’t get as mean and nasty as girls do in their teen years. They just spread it over time. I don’t know which is easier, since I am in the middle of the teen years with #1 daughter.
