how were you as a kid....

[Bluntmasterbabe]

I was a smart alec and a back-talking handful. There's a big surprise! Did great in school but I was compelled to push the limits at home. The "strong-willed child," I've seen it termed in books. As I was telling a friend last night, I'm a little amazed my mother didn't put a bullet through my head before I reached the age of 12 or 13. She took it in stride. And she laughed and laughed when my own son went through his mouthy phases.

I stood out in stark relief from my older sister by six years and my younger one by two, both of whom were well-behaved, docile little angels.

How old is your son? Do you have any other children? Sorry, still a noob

That's right! I have a number of kids here whom I love and adore. Truly. And then there's Slip, whom I wish I'd been able to adopt and really raise. I also have special maternal feelings for Orangeman and Billionfold and also for Baby Face Abortion and Reb. All these folks have parents/mamas of their own. But I still love them like they're my own.

My own natural-born son just turned 21 and is about to start his senior year in college. We're past the rocky phases now, fortunately, and there were mercifully few of those. Tonight's his last night at home before he returns to North Carolina for the fall semester.

Up until 6th grade I was actually very good. Very shy. Very afraid my dad would beat me if I fucked up, so pretty obedient. After that I kind of got mad and my whole goal in life was to get over on my dad, and get away with what ever I could. Nothing too serious. Even when I was misbehaving, I was always acutely aware of any consequences. Just smoking or cutting class. I got in trouble a lot, all the way until I moved out at 18.A lot of flushed pot and broken cigarettes. It got pretty dramatic at times. I was the 4th out of 5 kids. Very busy, noisy, chaotic house. Today I can't stand noise and chaos.

I was a hell-raiser.

Now I'm insanely boring, and mellow. Go figure.

Snowblind, would you please do us the courtesy of reposting your thread but without use of the C-word this time? It'll live a longer life-span that way, and you'll be able to get your message across just as well, I'm sure. Thanks.

Oh wow...about my age. That's awesome. I bet he thinks you're the coolest mom ever!

As they say in Brooklyn: Fuhgedaboudit!

We were wild, but probably not as bad as the worst kids then or today. We made go-carts out of wooden boxes, rope and old wheels. We played stickball in the streets, punchball, ringaleveo, and many other games. There were bad things though, some of which I wrote about recently (posts below). By the time I was in my teens, and having had jobs, I was considerably more adult. I would say that working odd jobs, like shoveling snow, bicycle deliveries, etc., as a kid didn't hurt me at all.

We didn't realize how rough we had it, compared to many people in this country, until later. Spoiled we were NOT.

He only thinks that when the answer is "yes." When it's "no," he thinks his father and/or I are the devil incarnate! He won't appreciate those "no's" till he's much older.
