Teenage son constantly attempts "out-manning" me.



Backstory

Not in the macho way - that's not our style. He's determined to prove that he's smarter, wiser and quicker on the uptake. I let him think whatever he wants, unless it becomes disrespectful or defiant. Then he realizes that the old lion still has his teeth.

I just hope I don't become my father... ;)

accidentaltourist says,

The Alpha-Beta Male battles...remember them well. Lots of growling and snarling and pacing around each other. Somehow, I don't think you'll be your father...at least not the parts that you recognize as bad traits.

Dean6805 says,

There's more eye-rolling than snarling, I can assure you.
