@hartley8184 thank you so much for the feedback! I'm happy to tell you that was a few years ago - my son just graduated from high school - the one who was driving me nuts - and is going to college. he has a job and turned out to be a very nice boy! There is light at the end of the tunnel but you will go nuts on the way. go buy my book, 13 is the new 18 - it's in paperback now and cheaper than the original hardcover - or maybe just go have a stiff drink!! thanks again

@prilstrudel Actually, her book was severely depressing because her son wasn't a "bad kid," she just had a total lack of faith in him. Trust me, I'm 14 and I know kids who really DO have dysfunctional families. I know kids whose parents are divorced and siblings are split up and are being sent to drug rehab after their father started hitting them. The worst thing her son did was NOT sneak a bottle of alcohol into a school dance. She doesn't realize how good a person her son was.

@bharpaz

I read the excerpts from your book! My wife and I unfortunately can't have children, so I didn't laugh at your book but more like felt a bit sad. Being family must be a 3D adventure!
