Chris: the mom is very domineering. The kid almost exists to please her..oh well.
He has an overwhelming need to be the best which is fine by itself but even it meant that has to put down the rest (and he has).
I hate to not give "kids" the benefit of the doubt but this one gets none!
Kriston, I feel very shy and uncomfortable about redirecting others' kids. I dont want to incur the wrath of the parents for business they should have gotten to in the first place. (Besides, we are from another country and I sometimes get caught in 'gosh, am I displaced in time, culture and age?' I wonder how I will be able to handle my own DD's puberty phase, etc..cross-the-bridge..).
