I find it interesting the way in which kids adapt to the adults they are around. They know what they can get away with with certain people. Whereas with others they would NEVER pull that same thing. For example, the kids that I am watching now are a certain way with one of their parents and with the other they are completely different. And it sucks because one parent s so much "easier" than the other and clearly breaks from the routine which makes everything harder.
The sad part is that I remember pulling that same stuff with my mom and dad. I would never have defied my dad or push his boundaries. My mom, on the other hand, was so much easier and would cave at the slightest sign of tears because she felt bad. it's not just with parents either, it's with any adult authority figure.

I guess people do it in their jobs and lives too. Act a certain way with certain people. Why is it so hard for us to be ourselves? I just think it's weird that it starts at such a young age that it becomes part of our nature. I guess people are just funny like that.
