The good news is I grew up to be a calm, reasonable and respectful person. I could not have been easy to raise, though.
I was a trouble child too. I think that if you have a child they will be just like you were, and you'll understand how your parents felt. When your child grows up they will probably be like you, and you will have that much more in common with them. I don't really know though :thumbsup: a lot of my friends who were crazy in their youth became calm when they got older, including myself.
