How is it that my mom did not throttle me on a regular basis?

Did you ever have the experience when you were growing up and acting particularly snotty as a teenager, where your mom or dad cursed you with this sentiment, "I hope you have a kid just like you when you grow up!" Well... karma sucks, because I am now raising ME...only with testosterone! After going 10 rounds with Nathan today, it finally hit me how much I must have put my own poor mother through. I just keep telling myself: Somehow, I survived. Let's hope Nathan makes it, too.
