My g'sons are teenagers now (14 and 13), and they've gone from sweet, helpful little boys to gruff-voiced, smelly strangers!
Girls reigned in our family, and I don't know how to relate to boys.
What do I do?

Why Do Boys Like To Fight - And Not Take Baths???

I must say I prefer the way males handle conflict.
When we're pissed off at each other about something we pound on each other for a few minutes, get it out of our system, then go out for beer together.
When females have a problem, they let it fester and play all sorts of vicious and mean spirited games with each other for decades on end.

You've certainly got a point, Else.

Snowbird i have 3 boys, the eldest are only 4 and 6 but i dread to think what they will be like as teens! They like their baths but constantly fight and bicker - they're lovely to their family and friends - just not to each other, i now have 2 weeks school holidays to get through - plus a one yr old - agh! (Love 'em to bits tho!!!)

Dobbie, I hear you.
They're respectful to me, but constantly pound on and try to outdo each other.
I love them, too, but they get on my last nerve.

You can always sell them to a Coal Mine in Kazakstan...help them get rid of excess energy and make some cash!

And that's better than picking on each other mercilessly until one develops an eating disorder?

007, I just send them back to their parents!
I just never realized that boys and girls are so different.
