Being so fresh out of adolescence, it's a useful reminder to us geezers.
There have to be boundaries in any relationship -- and especially in a parent-child relationship.
There also has to be tolerance for pushing those boundaries in a parent-child relationship, especially from the child, simply because the child is learning this as he goes along. And yes, sometimes you kids are deliberately twits, and it is still the job of the parent to be calm.
I'm going through some difficulties with my son right now. He tests my patience. I'm not throwing down on Judy Lynn, because I know exactly how hard parenting is. I just want to make that clear, even as I disagree with the way she handled things tonight.
