Another Day in Paradise

I wish someone had told me years ago before I had children that boys are difficult to raise.

Our oldest lies about what the dog "does" when he takes her out, he never remembers to do his chores, he lies about having done chores, when he does chores they are done half assed and then I have to finish it, he is MALICIOUS to his sister, etc etc etc. I could write a book on this kid.

Our middle child, who just turned 5 today, is the best kid ever. She doesn't do half the shit our oldest did at 5. I'm gonna pull my hair out with the oldest...

Then we have our up and coming youngest child. The kid is sick and teething right now and not wanting to sleep unless you hold him to the point of him passing out. I wonder if it's just because he's sick and teething or if his Grandma is spoiling him rotten when she's here during the week? I think it might be both, actually.
