My kids are still at the age where I love parent-teacher conferences. I generally spend the first part of the conference wondering if the teacher is really talking about my kid and not someone else, then I'm happy that my children manage to act like totally different people at school. At home, I find myself googling "bipolar" because I can't figure out how it is these kids are such maniacs at home, causing me to pull my hair out in exasperation, yet charming and obedient children at school. Maybe I'm the one who needs medication.
