about a hundred years!
i have 3 adult children...all went through different (phases) as they became adults...my daughter wanted nothing to do with (responsibility) and fought it with all her might...she's mid 30's now...and we both survived those days...both of my son's were pretty..... sure of themselves at that age...the youngest was probably the best...since he got to watch his older two siblings go through their (things) he avoided some (issues) :wink:
the middle child...he knew everything by the time he was about 15...and although he is in his 30's now too...he still...knows it all...maybe because he's the one who has no plans of ever being a parent...sometimes i think you have to have kids of your own before figuring out you do not know it all....
kids, no manual...each one is so different from the one before :thumbup:
