So I have found that working and compromising and working with kids
can be one of the most difficult things to bear. The more i try to
reason with them the less they tell me, and the more I think they are
up to no good. My wife sent me an email with some warning signs that
kids are up to no good. There is quite a list but the symptoms i
spotted in my oldest were, sudden personality changes, and withdrawal
from family. I copied and pasted the email in my blog if you want to
see it.

I have to say that list has opened my eyes to obvious things that i
cant believe i didn't pick up on in the first place. Nonetheless it
has made me a bit more observant of my oldest (16) and his behavior. I
have to say that having kids and trying to figure them out is one of
the hardest things I have ever done, but lets not forget that having
kids is a full time job by itself. I wanted to share this with you
because it has helped me alot, and i wanted to spread the good word.
