My kids are high maintenance. I myself am on of the most high maintenance people I know. I don\'t see it as a bad thing. I want things as certain way. Now I can accept other ways if necessary. This is the skill children are still working on. I wouldn\'t take it as an insult, and actually I would wonder about a person whose kids WEREN\'T high maintenance!

Why shouldn\'t kids have them, too? High maintenance? I think they just sound like miniature versions of their grown-up selves. Know what I mean?
