How much does your son challenge you?

I raised both of my sons to love and respect their parents, so...

ETA: They are both in college and doing exceptionally well.

for the most part well behaved but def have seen as he's grown older that he tests me some and seeing what he can get away with. As all kids do.

I just show him the knuckles and he pipes down real quick.

Probably a different answer from me vs. my wife.

Me - a well behaved child
Her - he is always pushing boundaries and trying to challenge her authority

Same would go for our 12 year old terrier

He's 5 so I don't wind up all the way on the uppercut.

You uppercut a five year old? You short motherfricker.

10 year old, not a lot. very typical first born.

7 year old a good bit. he's a very free spirited child. i don't want to break him of that, but i do also know that he does need the fear of God to keep himself in line. i'm a little more heavy handed with him because he'll take every inch he can get.

the most frustrating thing is that there many days where i could honest to God choke the kid out and not think twice about it. Every babysitter, teacher, or church worker that keeps him says that he is the sweetest, best rule follower evar.

He's well behaved but as he approaches his teenage years he's begun to push boundaries which is encouraging.. he doesn't like to get in trouble but at the same time I want him to get outside his comfort zone at times.. I don't want him smocking heroin but don't want a pure conformist that doesn't think for himself

4 year old is mostly well behaved, but does like to push his boundaries. More with mommy than with daddy. I'm usually very patient, but he knows to stop before I gets mad.

2 year old is 2. When he's not 2, he's an angel. When he's 2 he's a nightmare. Like most 2 year olds.
