After all I've written of late about the troubles my 4 year old gives him teachers, you may wonder how I can live with such a child and stay sane. Easy: I don't. The child I live with is very sweet, endearing, and funny. I've never even met the kid he turns into when I drop him off at daycare.
When he was a toddler he has one or two of those normal toddler-style meltdowns that all parents dread, but I honestly can't remember the last time I had to deal with one myself. In the last two years, I've only heard one once that wasn't over the phone with his school, and it stopped as soon as I walked over to him. This tantrum, though, had a positive impact on the lives of several teenager who witnessed it: it crushed any romantic ideas that they may have had about parenting, and may have turned them off of the idea of sex (which is still the #1 cause of babies in the world today) all together.
