Hon, I've even been thrown for a loop when my girls were around 16 or so and they came to me and said they finally realized something I had been trying to teach them and that they appreciated my input and patience. Dang near took me off my feet to hear that out of them. Then, as fast as it came, it went away again and they were back to their old ways....learning and complaining and making poor choices. Lesson is, take it as it comes and know that if you gave them a firm foundation when they were young, it will resurface in time and help them as they mature
