Yes you're right about that too. Speaking for myself yes, I have an inbuilt mistrust of teens now. I do think it's the norm (and probably always has been) for us to expect higher standards of behaviour from our children than maybe we actually displayed ourselves! Better that than not giving a damn what our kids do - this seems all too common sadly. Its far from easy being a patent and frankly many people just aren't up to it. In some respects I'm not - being a big kid myself much of the time
