DS is starting to hit full fledge teen attitude and DD is not far behind. I spend my days being frustrated and annoyed by the attitude and the ingratitude. If I think about it, I wasn't exactly a grateful person as a teen either...... I think what would help me is some book sort of like the Female Brain book that I read when I was pregnant--it talked about the brain through all stages of a woman's life and it let me know that I was not crazy, that my brain was pruning parts in order to forge new pathways (which meant I wandered around like somebody who was getting senile).
So I don't need a book about how adolescents love risk, etc. This is more--what part of the being a jerk is normal. (same thing as when they were 3 and I thought I would run screaming into the night....) If I can get a good grounding on the boundaries of normal, it will help me overlook somethings, teach others, and hold the line when they step over it.
sigh.......
