Parenting 601 - Toddlers vs Teens

[Longhorn85]

My toddler asks: "Daddy, what do you do at work?" After I explain he is still looking at me, climbs on my lap and asks, "what else?"

My teenager says: "Hey Pop, someone asked me today what you do at work and I dídn't know. What do you do anyway?" In the middle of my explanation he walks out of the kitchen with an overloaded sandwich. I say, "hey, I wasn't finished."
He says, "I know, but I got bored."

But I tortured my teenage son. I made him come back in the kitchen, sit down and listen to my full explanation. I said, "Now you know bud"

So, what do you do?

I'm an Army Staff Officer working for NATO, I won't bore you with details like I did to my son.

You mean he didn't ask "is that all?"

No, his mouth was full of PB&J, but he probably thought it

When mine was little it was, "Moddy, come pay in my room." Now it's, "Dad, stay out of my room."
