Do 10 year olds bring any joy??
Following up this thread:-
http://www.locostbuilders.co.uk/viewthread.php?tid=143029
All my 10 year old son does is cause me and the wife grief, he is more work than our 4 year old and 1 year old put together!! What the hell is he
going to be like when he is a teenager!!!!??

Mine's 8 and has his moments! You've got me worried now! What can I expect when he's 10?

Anyone fancy swapping theirs for my 4 yr old (first day at school today) and 2 yr old twins...?
No, I thought not
Any one or two on their own are a doddle, but all three together are a bl00dy nightmare at the moment.

Said without a hint of irony, tonque in cheek, or lying.
We have one child.
She's 8.
She's a joy.
The end.
Ah, ok, I'll expand.
Yes, she does daft things and makes some strange pronunciations borne out ot being a child and not having had all of the life experiences that
we've had - yet.
But what do you expect, kids are pains in the neck. I was, and so were we all.
You can work your way around these things though. It's your job.

next 8 years.
He's a totally different person now at 21, I actually started talking to him again after 8 years of ignoring each other!!

We have 2 boys, 1 age 14 1 age 10 and a 7 year old girl.
The ten year old is the 'easiest' to deal with, in fact he's a joy and can have most adults in stiches within minutes.
However the 14 yearold is a right royal pain in the ass. Strops, sulks stompin about. I used to think that Harry enfield's "kevin"
character was a massive over exageration, alas not any more!! I've seen the arms start swingin on more than one occasion!!

Ditto. We have 2 children - daughter is 11 next weekend, son was 3 about 3 weeks ago.
She's lovely...a bit dappy at times but not really any trouble whatsoever.
He is still not out of the terrible 2s yet...can be a monster at times, but beautifully behaved the rest...just full of fun and mischief...like any 3
year old...
They fight like cats and dogs at times, but they're kids - 5 minutes later they'll be playing nicely together.
Guess I must be lucky...

My parents made the best decision of their (and my) lives and sent me to boarding school.
I was never any trouble then... or not that they knew about

I've got three, all grown up, never any trouble until...........
Number 2 son, raised him, fed him, clothed him, paid for him through university, helped him through all those growing up problems.
Now he's all grown up and we started sprinting together, IN MY CAR!!!!!, and he goes and beats me.
Ungratefull little b*gger.
