Talk about fur children ... I am married for the second time ... widowed at 48, remarried, we each had three children all grown ... now we have three "fur" children and our "human" kids say they never were as spoiled as they are ... I say they are just jealous! As you can see from the picture ... Jesse James likes to sleep with us.

Well my 46 year old hasn't started. Feel sorry for his kids, they are more mature than he is, and they are only 10 and 13.

The only difference between men and boys is the price of their toys! And don't forget, Grandchildren are a parent's revenge. :-D

Sigh, I WISH I knew. My 22 yo daughter is finally starting to mature, the middle kid, 19 is doing okay, but the youngest, almost 17 is a brat.

I work in a nursing home. Guess what, There is a little bit of a kid in all of us no matter what age we are. In any given day we can be a 2yo to a teen, depends on the circumctances we are facing at any given time.

I saw a comic that addressed this. I think it was Family Circus. The two boys were arguing about who mom loved best, the next frame has them looking at each other and saying, "She picked the dog!" :lol: Makes me laugh!

Ummm, I'm 29 and the last time I was home my brother (21) and I ended up chasing each other around the house because he stole my magazine. So with siblings, sometimes it never ends.
:lol:

But seriously? Probably not until one of them leaves home. At least. But I think it could be worse. There is nothing so venomous as a teenage girl fight. My sister and I got along fine most of the time, but when things blew up, they BLEW UP.
