I have one of each and I'm completely at a loss about which one is better (or worse).<br /><br />Thanks Juxtabook. I do know what you mean about the smell. I'm not sure what is worse: the great wafts of lynx, Impulse and the like, or the generally unwashed. Or the combination.<br /><br />As for what they're like out of parental sight, it's the Kevin and Perry thing - instant charm to someone who's not family, and hell on legs to anyone they're related to.Jane Badgerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02628233623713926723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8782167599693788794.post-26625349566221788762009-04-24T21:01:00.000+01:002009-04-24T21:01:00.000+01:00I enjoyed this - both your review and the mild ran...I enjoyed this - both your review and the mild rant about the delightful teen years. My husband says he goes to work (teaching teeneagers) for peace from our 5 year old. I realise living with them is a totally different kettle of fish though. One of the worst things about teaching in a secondary school (and there are many worse things!) is the smell - really surprisingly bad.<br /><br />One of the worse things about living with children as opposed to teaching them is that unlike when you are at school there is no longer someone higher paid to whom you can send the blighters when they are having an off day!Juxtabookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17102279698993288454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8782167599693788794.post-19428372603279810072009-04-24T18:27:00.000+01:002009-04-24T18:27:00.000+01:00Some friends of mine have three charming daughters...Some friends of mine have three charming daughters, currently aged 5 years, 3 years, and 4 months. I can't help thinking that it might be rather different household in say, eleven years' time.<br /> Three teenage girls might possibly be worse than three teenage boys.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09941239760699389457noreply@blogger.com
