My son, the stranger

The sweet boy I raised is gone, replaced by a sullen, scornful teenager. It may be a phase, but it's breaking my heart.

    waste of time

    This article is such a waste of time and extremely whiny! I agree with another writer - I only have to see her hair to know that she would make any kid crazy. Also, what is with making the kid wash the cars THREE TIMES! OK, so the first time he basically did nothing, but surely the time with the hose was enough. Poor kid.
