I have 2 daughters and 1 son- 15,19 and 23. My son was a very active semi-consuming little boy. When he hit puberty and became a teen and now young adult he changed and became very laid back and generally good. My daughters were much easier when they were little but by the time they each hit 11 the hormones and drama kicked in. More so with the older one. I threatened to take the door off the hinges its been slammed so much.
