I'm a mom now of a 21-year-old. When he was a teenager, he wasn't nearly as much of a handful as I was. He was definitely a smart-alec and a back-talker, but it was manageable. My own mom used to just lean back and laugh when he was in that phase and tell me it was "pay-back time." What goes around comes around, I guess.
Nice so how old is your kid now?
