Again, wow Mach. You've turned a light bulb on in my head.

This makes so much sense now for my H and why I observed that it seemed he had no parenting skill for his teenage S. Then my adding on to that 'why DON'T you know how to parent a teenager..' probably didn't help our M much. I remember often his being critical about something bad our S was doing, and asking him 'Don't you remember being a teenage boy?' And more often than not, he would say 'no, I don't remember...'. Which I know he did some very teenage boy things so it was surprising to hear that. Very, very curious.

Thanks for the wicked good post Mach.

The Christmas card is very funny! Made me laugh out loud, made my dog jump. I thought I might give that to H for Christmas, but then thought Nah, he wouldn't get it. LOL.
