Middle school is the worst,but,like all stages,it passes.
Everytime they act up he should remind himself of his piano and chair “research”. :-)
My vaseline cleaner daughter did very well and has 3 children—middle and high school. Tempus fugit.
My brother is lucky too. The only thing his daughter did that was questionable was cut half her hair off her head when she was four. No destroying property though.
