I know this may come as a surprise to some of you, but we decided to let our nephew live with us for a few months while he is on a school break.
Now, to our surprise, we didn’t know what we were getting ourselves into. Can you say 16 year old hormones? Oh boy, literally. Having a teenager boy is so very different than my 3 girls. I know we haven’t gotten to puberty yet with any of them, but my gosh, talk about a crash course.
What a difference between raising boys and girls! They are so very different. We aren’t used to being around boys, much less having one live with us. I am learning boys seem to have an erection throughout most of the day.
What kinds of things do I need to be aware of during this advanced teenager stage we are in? Any advice from experienced parents?
