Do you have a smart child that's both aggravating and annoying?

[bjohnson52]

Hey Guys,

These kids really do exists and I have known a few in my life time.  They  can be
so smart/bad that they can some times outsmart you.  This specific child that I'm
speaking about can be very irritating to babysit, he's big for his age and he knows it.

I don't believe he gets any spankings and if he does they probably don't even hurt.  He is only 10 years old but looks 3
years older and he mostly always aggravate his little sister every day and has a very smart mouth.

I'm hoping and praying that he turns out to be a good, respectable man.

I have seen a smart child (my grandson) but he is very mannerable.  The child you are describing, I would leave with his mom and dad.  I grew up in an environment where, acting like that would have gotten me a beat down literally.  Parents back then were less tolerant than they are now.

Me too! I have a grandson which is giving his babysitter and parents alot of Jazz (mouth), he comes to my house and I will not tolerate it and he knows it, I would back hand him. The problem these days, I believe is the schools, and the parents, they don't teach properly. I remember going to school they taught manners and respect for adults. They called it discipline, they did not teach it as a subject but, they still drilled it into our heads. If you weren't in class by the time the bell ended teachers would roam the halls and normally the bigest one would litterally force you into class by the scruff of your neck. These days you can't touch a child without fear of them calling it "child abuse", how about "adult abuse"??

I have a 7 year old granddaughter who seem to thins that she is the smartest person in the world (notice I said person not child). She come up with every trick in the book to get her out of some corner or the other. Yet she is still a cjild so you can find the holes in her reasoning.  No matter how much time you catch her she will try it again.  This prove she is not the smartest as she thinks.
