How long does this stag las? When kin I cpect her to leeve home...

Um...assuming you mean, how long does this stage last, and when can you expect her to leave home...

My experience is that there's a stage around age 2-3, which you've no doubt heard of as "The Terrible Twos," when they first get seriously self-propelled and talking and thinking in the abstract. The next rotten stage happens with that first toxic rush of hormones as adolescence begins, about the age your daughter is, and lasts until the late teens when, we hope, certain more adult behaviours will begin to appear. But it doesn't really end until they leave home and find out what life is really like when they have to do everything for themselves. That's when the reward for your parenting efforts comes due, and that stage lasts for the rest of your life.

Unless, of course, you've made a really bad job of it and the kid turns into a nympho-lesbo-killer-whore...

Nice.

Anyway, I wasn't seriously asking for your advice. I can't spell worth a shit, but I'm not that daft. :wink:

Seems to me you've spelled it just fine...

RE: My daughter is a brat

When my daughter was 3yrs old she was at the mall with her father (long haired tattoed, pierced, rings and necklaces, and built like a brick shit house) and decided to try her first practical joke.

She started to scream "your not my dad" at the top of her lungs. Freaked her dad right out.

Thank fully we were in Langford and everybody at the mall knew her dad.

Her second practical joke was done to a poor innocent old lady who had just said "what a beautiful little girl" the lady was kind of bent over and my daughter looks up at her and spit in her face. Again, not a good practical joke but 3yrs olds aren't always known for their sense of humour'

She's better now. Almost 14yrs old. Her sense of humour is wicked and she understands what is a real practical joke and what isn't. Thank God!!!!
