I had a pediatrician tell me once that when the hormones start kicking in kids really do get absent minded - something about the hormones affecting their brains -LOL. I sort of believe him because I saw the same pattern with my son. After about 16.5 he turned into a normal nice human being again and I'm hoping for the same with DD  |
That is good to remember. I heard that about the absent-mindedness before. Funny you said that about 16 1/2. One of my boys was a BEAST from about 13-15'ish. It was really hard to deal with. Then all of a sudden it's like a completely different kid moved in. He is polite (generally, lol!) doesn't argue with me, does chores w/o complaining. It's awesome!
