I think this one is hard on several levels. A lady who was sitting on the bus in front of us the other day, turned and asked how old DD7 was. Then remarked she sounded like an adult. Which makes DH expect more out of her behavior than is reasonable. Because she is only 7 and will act silly and not have perfect table manners and do some gymnastics on the furniture. There is a part of her that is just a 7 year old.

We have a high energy kid so that makes it more difficult for him.
