I remember my kids trying oysters for the first time, I think 2 or 3 years ago....we were in SC, they tried both raw and fried oysters at a seafood restaurant, lol...they didn't like the raw ones so much.
She is disagreeing because she doesn't have a physically active pre-teen or teen. It is not uncommon for one of my kids to take a nap in the summer. The younger one is usually up by seven, and mows a lawn or two before ten a.m when he comes home for a snack. Then he'll go swim or play roller hockey or baseball until about 2 pm, when it finally dawns on him that he's hungry. He'll come home for lunch, and then go out and then go out and play hard some more before coming home to do his paper route. He gets home from the paper route around 4:30 and will sit down in front of the TV in a darkened room and often fall asleep for an hour before dinner. And three times a week, he has a ball game or a viola lesson (which is more physically demanding than you might imagine). I see nothing wrong with an afternoon nap when the kid is physically active. Teens are growing and their bodies are changing -- in a growth spurt, the kid is making as many new cells a day as a year old baby. They crash.
It was both bad luck and poor planning. I usually have some kind of snack (crackers and cheese, etc) even now when we fly because you never know when you are going to be delayed and everyone is going to get cranky and hungry.
Didn't the flight crew have something he could eat?
My twelve year old still wants to be tucked into bed every night. I like that about him. It was about that age that my now-sixteen year old gave up the tucking in part, although he usually still wants a hug and a few words in the den before bed.
We don't have a set curfew because so much depends on the situation. When the kids were in the school musical last year, they struck the set and got to the cast party around 9:45. We picked them up at 11:45. An 11 o'clock curfew would have made no sense in that situation -- they were just serving up the food around 10:30.
It's been awhile since my kids were 18 months old, but the only thing I can remember not giving them when they were kids were unpasturized cheeses and raw fish and oysters on the half shell, stuff like that where listeria was a factor.
Well lets see talking from 6am to 9pm everyday probably compares because "I" am exhausted just from listening to it-lolololol!!!!!!! :)
Never said kids wouldn't be tired from doing activities but if they are used to staying up late and getting up late and then have to have a full day of activities, I WOULD assume they would get much tired.
Do you have a bedtime schedule? If you do, don't you notice if you go don't do it for a few days, you feel more tired?
I know many parents who are lax in everything they do with their children and I do believe if they were a little stricter, their kids would be able to function better in the morning going to school and would listen better to their parents and other adults.

I would like to know YOUR definition as you were the one who posted this.
What does it mean that you "maintain" relationships?
