[QUOTE="Lil, post: 726098, member: 17309"] Not at all what I mean. I'm not suggesting in any way that they are not adults and not responsible for their own actions. When I say "very young" I mean they still have a lot of years ahead of them. They have time on their side. They aren't this guy: ↓ What I mean is exactly what you mean. Act now - while they are young - and maybe you won't have that 55 year old man still trying to live off you. There is time for change. The age of 3 was pretty much one long tantrum. I swear, I literally had to stick him in a cold shower once like you see in movies when kids are fighting in a locker room - because after 1/2 hour of holding him to keep him from either running out the door or trying to break windows when I blocked the door I was exhausted. I met Jabber right before my son's 4th birthday. I always say that if he'd have met me a year earlier, he'd have run! He got kicked out of daycare. We saw psychologists and psychiatrists. He was [I]terrible[/I]! It got better with age, but by late teens his tantrums had progressed to putting his fist thru the door...and they still happened. In fact, his temper was one of his biggest issues to remaining in our home. Stealing was the final straw, but temper was the only thing that ever got the cops called. We were never physically afraid for ourselves - but he just wouldn't leave us alone! Like a 2 year old that screams if you try to pick them up, but if you don't they grab you by the leg and won't let go...that kind of thing. Exhausting. [/QUOTE]
