Thanks. I suddenly understand my oldest *so* much better.
Now for the nitty gritty: do you handle them the same way? -

"When you are in a hurry they can never find their shoes."

Kim-
I have been known to say, "if you want to act like a two year old I can treat you like a two year old." That ususally doesn't make a teenager very happy though! *grin* -

You could probably add, "Thinks they know more about the world than you".
I and my toddler are in total agreement on everything else.
Great TT! -
